Tell all your friends! I get a thrill from knowing that these lectures are helping people around the world.

Thank u a lot

I've been dealing with a cystic mass on my neck for about a year now. Had it removed externally by cutting through neck and it recurred. I then got an MRI done and a few radiologists looked at it are sure it's a plunging ranula whereas my ENT that removed it the first time isn't so sure. Any chance you could look at my CT or MRI and give your opinion? I want to try Sclerotherapy on the mass next before another surgery.

The best approach would be to have your ENT surgeon reach out to me. If we don't already know each other (academic otolaryngology is a fairly small community), your surgeon probably has contacts at my institution who could put us in touch.

Jeff, cant help but chime in here as an ENT doc. If you have a true plunging ranula, you should see somewhat who removes the sublingual gland. This generally gives source control for the production of the saliva and the ranula resolves. Good luck!

@@dmbrownuc hey doc, thanks for your reply. Since this post I ended up getting ethanol sclerotherapy cause I didn't want to risk nerve damage with the gland. It seemingly has worked as the mass continually shrank and disappeared. Hoping it's gone for good!

@@jeffreyh3716 did you ever have a biopsy of the cystic mass? Did it show high amalayse levels? I had what was believed to be a plunging ranula bc my cyst biopsy came back with high amalyse. Had sublingual gland removal and the fluid reappeared within 3 days

excellent.

What kind of Surgical approach? My ents are having a difficult time hindering on whether my sialocele is coming from the sublingual or submandibular gland. I have had it drained twice both times where it returns within a few days. Do you have any experience with this?

Hello I wanted to reach out to you because my mri showed a sialocele in my neck, my ENT did a transoral sublingual gland dissection and was able to drain the fluid in the neck, but it refilled back up. Do you have any recommendations for the next course of action
