        <p id="paragraph-2a31f7b796614311bd7752faa5ab89ee">Introduction: The extravasation of saliva from the sublingual gland on the floor of the mouth results in a ranula. The most typical presentation is swelling under the tongue. The mylohyoid muscle may allow it to herniate, Causing a plunging ranula. Ranula can be treated in many ways, including ranula excision alone, excision of the sublingual gland with or without ranula, aspiration of cystic fluid, sclerotherapy, marsupialization, incision and drainage.</p>
        <p id="paragraph-9953701df48a479d96e780bc72a30274">Material and methods: This case study includes six patients with ranula who underwent surgical treatment by marsupialization. The indications, age and sex distribution, Marsupialization methods, pathology reports, recurrence rates, and complications were seen.</p>
        <p id="paragraph-e734a9a17ec541229191c60fffe80579">Results: Out of 6 patients in our case series, no one patient has shown to be any recurrence or complications of marsupialization.</p>
        <p id="paragraph-f66992babb9945da89b17f3ee7e548ab">Conclusions: Management of Ranula by Marsupialization is a good option, but if it recurs after marsupialization, Excision of the lesion and the affected gland is the best course of action.</p>
