Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sublingual resection is known as the most effective treatment of choice to prevent recurrence in patients with plunging ranula. In this case report, we present our experience with a 37 year-old man with prolonged upper neck mass diagnosed as plunging ranula. He had persisting mass lesion even after 4 times of sclerotherapy. Due to fibrotic change the pseudocyst could not be drained after removing the sublingual gland. To resolve the mass lesion, ultrasonography guided transoral drainage was performed. Intraoperative ultrasonography may be useful for transoral drainage of plunging ranula difficult to approach after sublingual resection.
