Sjögren's syndrome and ranulas are relatively frequently occurring diseases. However, when they occur simultaneously, its clinical features and pathogenesis remain unclear. Here, we report a patient with bilateral ranulas. Magnetic resonance imaging at diagnosis revealed a "salt and pepper" appearance in bilateral parotid glands, leading a diagnosis of asymptomatic Sjögren's syndrome. She was successfully treated with excision of the left sublingual gland and sclerotherapy. A literature review suggests that this coexistence may not be very rare. In addition, it may be characterized by a high prevalence of bilateral ranulas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
