Introduction Ranula is a mucous extravasation cyst which occurs as a result of trauma or obstruction of the sublingual or minor salivary gland or the duct itself.Patients and results 14 patients were seen at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur and Hospital Tunku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Malaysia between 2000 to 2006. There were six cases of intra-oral ranula and eight plunging ranula. Twelve patients underwent surgical intervention while two refused surgery. Four patients (33.3%) from those who had surgical intervention returned with recurrence; two (16.7%) had marsupialization and the other two (16.7%) had excision of the pseudocyst intraorally. Conclusion Excision and marsupialization remain as the treatment of choice in our centres.

IntroductionMucocele is a painless swelling in the oral cavity usually conﬁned to the lower lip. Of the various treatment techniques surgery remains the best modality.ObjectivesThe present study is aimed to observe the prevalence of mucocele in Eastern Region of Nepal and to compare the results of extramucosal enucleation and submucosal excision as the treatment of mucocele.MethodologyThis prospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with mucocele in Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital; a tertiary centre in Eastern Nepal during the period between June 2014 to April 2017. Out of total 37 cases two groups were divided based upon size of mucocele. Patients underwent extramucosal enucleation in cases where the size of mucocele was less than 1 cm and submucosal excision was done in patients whose size of the mucocele exceeded 1 cm. The data was entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) vs 21. Diﬀerent parameters like wound infection, scar formation, recurrence, healing time, follow up were compared for both the methods.ResultThe mean age of the patient in extramucosal enucleation was 9.90±2.807 while in submucosal excision was 11.22±3.068 years. The most common location for mucocele in both the groups was the lower lip; who underwent either extramucosal enucleation (90%) or submucosal excision (70.4%). Recurrence was not observed in submucosal excision whereas one patient with extramucosal enucleation had recurrence.ConclusionMucocele in comparison to extramucosal enucleation as it usually healed within a week with fewer incidences of wound infection and without any recurrence.Birat Journal of Health Sciences Vol.2/No.1/Issue 2/ Jan - April 2017, Page: 215-218
