A plunging ranula is a benign cystic lesion in the neck formed due to mucin extravasated from a salivary gland, most commonly the sublingual gland. Ranulas have been described in association with congenital anomalies, trauma, diseases of the sublingual gland, and HIV; however, rarely, they may result as a complication of various oral and neck surgeries.
