Article Abstract
Ranula is a mucus extravasation cyst originating from the sublingual gland on the floor of the mouth. Congenital ranula is very rare. We report a case of a 4-month-old girl with a congenital ranula in the floor of mouth. The ranula was treated first by marsupialization, but the cyst recurred after 1 week. Excision of the ranula was done and was successful.

Background: Sublingual epidermoid cysts, rare benign lesions of ectodermal origin, are typically located beneath the tongue or in the floor of the mouth. Although typically asymptomatic, these cysts can grow and lead to discomfort, dysphagia, or complications such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Since sublingual swellings might resemble other disorders, like Plunging ranulas, an accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial.
