  • Title: Ranula and sarcoid granuloma of a sublingual gland.
    Author: Takimoto T, Ishikawa S, Yoshizaki T, Donjyo T, Mizugami Y, Matsubara F, Umeda R.
    Journal: Auris Nasus Larynx; 1989; 16(1):39-42. PubMed ID: 2764791.
    Abstract:
    A case is reported in which the treatment of the ranula consisted of dissection of the cystic wall along with excision of the sublingual gland of origin. The histological picture of the gland was consistent with sarcoidosis. Thereafter, all other examinations were negative for sarcoidosis. However, there remains the possibility that the lesion may be the precursor of widespread sarcoidosis which might occur in the future.
