    AbstractA case of cutaneous salivary fistula and sialocele in the submental area, arising from the sublingual gland, is reported and its etiology, development, and management are discussed. The entity of plunging ranula is compared to the lesion the case presented, and the literature regarding this lesion is reviewed. The successful surgical treatment of this case supports the theory that the sublingual gland is the source of the disorder. The effect of the altered salivary function on the adjacent submandibular gland and duct presented an operative complication.
