Article Synopsis
- Ranulas are commonly thought to be sublingual cysts in children, but in this case, a 13-year-old boy was found to have a rare dermoid cyst instead, which is less than 0.01% of oral lesions.
- The boy presented with significant symptoms including swelling under the tongue, speech issues, and difficulty eating, prompting surgical excision of the cyst.
- The case emphasizes the need for accurate diagnosis through histopathology and imaging techniques, as dermoid cysts can be mistaken for ranulas.

Plunging ranulas are rare retention pseudocysts of the major salivary glands, most often of the sublingual gland, and usually occur in individuals from the first to the sixth decade of life with female predominance. Given their similar location and physical and imaging characteristics to thyroglossal cysts, distinguishing the two lesions is often a differential diagnostic dilemma even for the experienced physician. This case report presents a 42-year-old man for whom a preliminary diagnosis of a thyroglossal duct cyst was made based on a physical examination.
