Well defined left submandibular thin-walled cystic lesion with no solid components, arising from left sublingual space descending inferiorly via mylohyoid into submandibular space.
Case Discussion
Findings are typical of a plunging ranula. The extension to the typical submandibular space favors the diagnosis of plunging ranula.
