Abstrakt:	Ranula is a cyst-like growth that occurs in the oral cavity beneath the tongue. It consists of saliva from a ruptured salivary gland or duct. Rather than just flowing directly from the glands into the oral cavity, saliva permeates the nearby connective tissues and creates a bubble. A ranula could indeed appear at any time span in a person's life for inexplicable reasons. A trauma such as an oral operation, a facial blow or nibbling the lower lip may possibly start one. The following is a case study of an early childhood boy who reported with a swelling in the floor of the mouth with unknown aetiology from the last 6 months.
