Mucoceles of the submandibular gland are extremely rare pathologic occurrences that present an investigative and management dilemma owing to their clinical indistinguishability from plunging ranulas. Of the few that have been documented, these mucous extravasation cysts involved the submandibular gland alone. We describe perhaps the first case of an extensive submandibular gland mucocele occurring in conjunction with a mixed ranula from the ipsilateral sublingual gland, and discuss the various considerations in the management of such lesions.
下颌下腺黏液囊肿极为罕见，由于其临床表现与完全型舌下腺口外型囊肿难以区分，给临床诊断和处理带来了困难。目前报道的黏液囊肿仅累及下颌下腺，我们报道了首例同时伴有同侧舌下腺口外型混合性囊肿的广泛下颌下腺黏液囊肿，并讨论了此类病变的各种处理方法。
