Ranula are swellings arising from the sublingual or submandibular salivary glands either due to mucus extravasation or the formation of mucus retention cysts. They are located on the floor of the mouth, generally have an insidious course and remain asymptomatic unless they grow very large or develop secondary complications. Occasionally, by dividing through cervical facial planes, they present as swellings in the neck, aptly called plunging ranulas. Plunging ranulas, therefore, have an intra-oral component and an extra-oral component; however rarely, the intra-oral component resolves leaving behind an isolated swelling in the neck, making the diagnosis a clinical challenge.

The presence of a sialolith is one of the most common diseases of salivary gland. It is relatively common in submandibular salivary glands and its duct. This case report is of a patient who presented at our unit with a history of severe pain and swelling on floor of the mouth, which was clinically and radiographically diagnosed as a sialolith. The diagnostic and treatment protocol in managing a patient with a giant sialolith is enumerated in this manuscript.

This report presents the case of primary Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the skin on the leg of a 74-year-old man. The epidemiological data of the neoplasm are examined, and the morphological picture and immunophenotypic profile are compared with those of the homologous tumor of the salivary glands. According to the scoring system of this type of tumor, our case is classified as low-grade.

Pelvic Instability

Postpartum diastasis of the pubic symphysis has the incidence from 1 in 300 to 1 in 30,000 deliveries. Under the action of progesterone and relaxin, a 1 cm widening of pubic symphysis is considered to be physiological and necessary for normal delivery. However, any higher widening is always pathological, involving the damage of pubic and sacroiliac ligaments. Multiparity has been identified as the only independent risk factor. Because this pathology often manifests as chronic pain in the pubic symphysis region, it is often mistakenly stated as a normal postpartum occurrence. It is only later when the symptoms of pelvic instability and pubic osteitis appear. Postpartum symphysiolysis is a clinical challenge to a physician due to low awareness and the postpartum period important to both the patient and the newborn.

Retention Cysts

Mucocele is a clinical term that basically includes two phenomenon i.e. mucus extravasation and mucus retention. Cysts arising in connection with minor salivary glands are common and about 90 per cent of cases are of the mucous extravasation type. These lesions are typically painless, dome-shaped, and fluctuant; they appear blue in colour secondary to the presence of mucin under the mucosa. The vesicular appearance created by the superficial nature of the mucin spillage, causes a separation of the epithelium from the connective tissue. The pathologist must be aware of this lesion and should not mistake it microscopically for a vesiculo-bullous lesion, especially mucous membrane pemphigoid. Here, we present a case report on mucocele with a brief review.

Ludwig’s angina is a rapidly spreading infection of the floor of the mouth and neck.  A rare and dreaded complication of Ludwig’s angina is extension of the infection to the mediastinum.  We describe a unique case of Ludwig’s angina presenting with descending necrotizing mediastinitis, with the subsequent development of Candida albicans and Candida krusei mediastinitis.
