Introduction

An oral mucocele is a painless swelling containing fluid usually seen below the lining of the mouth (mucosa). It occurs when there is some form of alteration in the minor salivary glands present below the mucosa of the mouth.

When the mucous cyst appears in the floor of the mouth it is known as Ranula because it resembles the belly of the frog.
