Swelling of the floor of the mouth in children should include, as a differential diagnosis, mucous retention cysts, dermoid cysts, hemangiomas, cystic lymphangiomas, epidermal cysts, and thyroglossal duct cysts. Ranula results from the retention or extravasation of saliva on the floor of the mouth. A 3-month-old female presented with a 1 cm nodule on the right side of the floor of her mouth, identified 2 months ago, causing breastfeeding difficulties. The lesion varied in size and color and was resilient on palpation. Clinical hypotheses included dermoid cysts and ranula. A pediatric dentist performed an excisional biopsy under sedation. Histopathological analysis revealed minor salivary glands with dilated ducts, mucous retention, and mixed inflammatory infiltrate. The final diagnosis was mucous retention cyst. Two months of follow-up, the lesion recurred but spontaneously regressed. The case has been followed up by a multidisciplinary team and has contributed to developing undergraduate skills in child healthcare. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
