A ranula is a cystic, translucent lesion usually seen on the floor of the mouth. It usually occurs unilaterally, and bilateral occurrences are extremely rare. We report a case of a young girl presented huge cystic lesion on the floor of mouth diagnosed clinically as simple ranula resembling a double tongue appearance. It is associated with mild discomfort when chewing and speaking. She was successfully managed via aspiration of the ranula under local anaesthesia in a clinic setting. This case highlights the role of aspiration of ranula, which is important for immediate relief of symptoms.
