Introduction: In both soft
and hard tissues, a cyst is a pathological enclosing or cyst that is not
usually surrounded by epithelial tissue and is filled with gas, fluid, or
semi-fluid. The word "ranula" comes from the Latin word rana, which
means frog. It is located in the floor of the mouth, beneath the tongue, and
between the mandible and the tongue root. Since it resembles a frog's belly,
the ranula is known as "frog's belly. " Ranulas, which harm the
mucosa and allow mucus to leak from the gland's natural channel, can be caused
by damage to the duct of the submandibular salivary gland. A deep or
"plunging" ranula forms in the submandibular region when mucus
accumulates behind the mylohyoid muscle. The state of the submandibular duct
can potentially account for the development of ranulas.
Objective: This study's
primary goal is to ascertain the prevalence and trends of ranula incidence
among Stomatology Hospital OPD (Outpatient Department) patients in 1398.
Results: 14 individuals identified with
ranula in this descriptive case series study, six were women and eight (57%)
were men. Twelve of these individuals had oral ranulas, and two had plunging
ranulas. Ten patients had unilateral ranulas, whereas four patients exhibited
bilateral involvement in terms of laterality.
Conclusion: According to
the study's statistics, granular primarily afflict patients who are
female. Moreover, plunging granular are less common than oral ranulas.
Interestingly, granular are typically seen as unilateral in most
situations. Statistics from the study show that granular mainly affects female
patients. Additionally, oral ranulas are more prevalent than plunging granular.
It is interesting to note that in most circumstances, granular are regarded as
unilateral.
