Sjögren's syndrome may be associated with ranulas, which are fluid-filled cysts. This study investigated the link between Sjögren's syndrome and ranulas, finding six cases to date.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder primarily affecting salivary and lacrimal glands.
  • Ranulas are mucoceles typically found on the floor of the mouth, often linked to salivary gland issues.

Observation:

  • The study observed three patients with ranulas who also had Sjögren's syndrome.
  • An exhaustive literature search was conducted to identify similar cases.

Findings:

  • A total of six cases of ranula associated with adult Sjögren's syndrome have been reported in the literature, including the three observed cases.
  • This suggests a potential association between the two conditions.

Implications:

  • Further investigation is warranted to explore the relationship between Sjögren's syndrome and ranula development.

  • Clinicians should consider screening for Sjögren's syndrome in patients with ranulas and monitor Sjögren's patients for ranula formation.
