Plunging or cervical ranula is a rare phenomenon that represents mucous extravasation pseudocyst arising from the sublingual gland herniating through the mylohyoid muscle. The mucous dissects the tissue planes inferiorly and usually manifests as a swelling in the submental or submandibular regions. Surgical management of plunging ranula is the first-choice therapy. There are variable surgical treatments for plunging ranula, including simple excision, marsupialization, and e xcision of the ranula and sublingual gland via an intraoral or cervical approach. Despite these treatments, many patients have experienced recurrence, and sometimes larger lesions have occurred. Sclerotherapy is a potentially curative procedure that may be used as a primary treatment choice for plunging ranula before considering surgery. A case of plunging ranula is reported. Treatment consisted of the total removal of the sublingual gland and the plunging ranula by the cervical approach
