An audit of ranulae occurring with the human immunodeficiency virus infecton

Currently, published literature has increasingly projected the ranula as a lesion that may be closely associated with exposure to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this report, we document 28 patients who presented with ranulae, among whom 19 were HIV infected. In some, this was the only le...

description Currently, published literature has increasingly projected the ranula as a lesion that may be closely associated with exposure to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Most probably, this lesion could be considered as one of the clinical markers of this infection.
