Let's end the discussion on ranula with this case.
0:04
This is a patient who has bilateral ranula.
0:07
Remember that ranula...
0:08
The term "ranula" refers to the Latin "rana,"
0:13
which is the frog.
0:15
And it has this lesion in the fore of the
0:18
mouth that looks sort of like a frog.
0:20
We'll go back to a diagram showing that. Here you
0:23
have the patient who has bilateral involvement
0:28
at the floor of the mouth. On the right side,
0:32
it remains confined to the floor of the mouth
0:39
and does not perforate the mylohyoid musculature.
0:43
This would be termed a simple ranula.
0:47
Does not go posterior to or through
0:51
the mylohyoid muscle.
0:53
Contrast that with this one.
0:56
Here we have the low density, which goes behind
1:00
the border of the mylohyoid muscle, and has an
1:06
extension that is coming out laterally towards
1:10
the submandibular gland.
1:13
Here's the submandibular gland.
1:14
Here's that lateral extension behind
1:17
the mylohyoid muscle.
1:19
So this has a...
1:21
most of its components is a simple ranula. However,
1:24
with this extension posteriorally and lateral to
1:28
the mylohyoid muscle and the perforation
1:31
of that mylohyoid muscle,
1:33
we would call that a plunging ranula.
1:36
So simple, simple plunging ranula,
1:42
bilateral ranula in a patient who is just pretty unlucky.
