Ranula is a mucocele which occurs in the floor of the mouth in relation to the sublingual salivary gland due to obstruction or trauma. Plunging ranulas with an oral and cervical component occurs in 34% cases as it dissects through the fascial planes and mylohyoid muscleto reach the submandibular space. Various surgical procedures have been described for its treatment with varying rates of recurrence. Here a case of plunging ranula with both the oral and cervical component and its removal by combined transcervical and transoral approach has been reported with no recurrence after a follow up of one year.
