Sialocele is an uncommon condition in cats. The treatment of choice for sublingual sialocele is excision of the ipsilateral mandibular and sublingual salivary gland/duct complex. Lateral and ventral cervical approaches have been described for mandibular-sublingual sialoadenectomy; however, the transoral approach, described here, has never been reported in cats. Ranula in the present case was likely caused by an inadvertent trauma of the sublingual duct during resection of a sublingual lesion performed by the referring veterinarian. The definitive surgery consisted of mass removal and sialoadenectomy through a unique oral approach. The surgery was effective without complications encountered after 6 months of follow-up. Key clinical message: This article reports a novel, transoral approach, for mandibular and sublingual sialoadenectomy in the cat. This approach decreases the surgical time and prevents recurrence of the mucocele.
涎瘘在猫中是一种不常见的疾病。舌下涎瘘的治疗选择是切除同侧下颌和舌下唾液腺/导管复合体。已经描述了用于下颌-舌下唾液腺切除术的外侧和腹侧颈入路；然而，这里描述的经口入路在猫中从未有过报道。本病例中的舌下囊肿可能是由于转诊兽医切除舌下病变时无意中损伤了舌下导管所致。确定性手术通过独特的口腔入路进行肿块切除和唾液腺切除术。手术后 6 个月随访无并发症，手术效果良好。关键临床信息：本文报道了一种新的经口入路用于猫的下颌和舌下唾液腺切除术。这种方法可以减少手术时间并防止黏液囊肿复发。
