A painless, bluish, submucosal swelling on one side of the floor of the mouth usually indicates the presence of a ranula. Rarely, such a swelling may be caused by an inflammatory disease process in a salivary gland, a neoplasm in the sublingual salivary gland, a lymphatic nodular swelling, or embryologic cysts. We report a patient with swelling in the floor of her mouth that was clinically diagnosed as a ranula. Suspicion arose during surgery that it was a vascular tumor and, on histologic testing, the swelling was confirmed to be a hemangioma. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of a hemangioma presenting as a ranula.
口腔底部一侧无痛性、蓝色的黏膜下肿胀通常提示存在舌下囊肿。极少数情况下，这种肿胀可能由唾液腺的炎性疾病过程、舌下唾液腺的肿瘤、淋巴结节性肿胀或胚胎囊肿引起。我们报告了一名口腔底部肿胀的患者，临床诊断为舌下囊肿。手术过程中怀疑是血管性肿瘤，经组织学检查，证实该肿胀为血管瘤。据我们所知，这是文献中首例表现为舌下囊肿的血管瘤报告。
