OBJECTIVES
To review our clinical experience and characteristics of Finnish patients with plunging ranula and compare our results with reports from other populations.
DESIGN
A retrospective study from the electronic hospital records between 2005 and 2016.
SETTING
The Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of Helsinki University Hospital, Finland.
RESULTS
We describe the characteristics and treatment of 41 patients with MRI-confirmed plunging ranula. Most of our patients were young adults and 88% of them were male. Surgery and sclerotherapy were used for treatment.
CONCLUSIONS
The vast majority of Finnish plunging ranula patients in our cohort were male, suggesting significant population-related differences in plunging ranula gender distribution. Transoral surgery seemed to result in lowest recurrence rate and was the most common treatment in our clinic.
