ABSTRACT

Introduction: mucocele and ranula are cysts of mucous retention, localized in the oral cavity where minor salivary glands are located.
Case report: a term newborn, good weight, male sex, second twin by cesarean section. At birth on physical examination a blue tumor is observed in the floor of the mouth which made baby’s feeding difficult, without causing respiratory disorders. According to the clinical evolution, at 5 days old, the mother observed a spontaneous diminution of volume in the base of tongue, though feeding problems persisted. A congenital sublingual ranula was diagnosed. After a multidisciplinary assessment the baby was discharged with follow-up due to this high-risk condition. Currently the baby is healthy, and presents a good psychomotor development and no relapses.
Conclusions: the newborn improved spontaneously without health compromise or needing surgical procedures.
