Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide while Warthin’s tumor (WT) is a common type of benign salivary gland neoplasm mostly seen in the parotid gland but rarely involves extra parotid tissues. Extra parotid WT is itself a rare entity and its synchronous occurrence with OSCC is an unusual phenomenon. It is vital to accurately identify the pathology as confusion may arise due to its rare occurrence and an intriguing presentation of resembling metastasis in lymph nodes. In the present review, a systematic literature search was performed and case reports and series in which synchronous existence of WT and OSCC were included. Total 13 papers have been included with 17 cases of synchronous WT and OSCC. Quality assessment for cases was done based on the CARE guidelines. The given results describe the histological features and site of WT in individuals who also had OSCC. Most of the studies described the histological findings of WT, which were seen involving the lymph nodes. More than 50% of the included cases had a history of tobacco chewing or smoking. The cases that have reported for follow up showed no evidence of any recurrence. WT with OSCC synchronous occurrence at a different site from the primary tumor can mimic a metastatic lesion from a primary lesion. It is a diagnostic challenge and could alter the management of these patients if not identified accurately. Awareness about this synchronous occurrence can avoid the overtreatment in such cases. Majority of the WTs described were seen in cervical lymph nodes.

Background: Following ablative surgery, the reconstruction of oral cavity defects is essential to ensure optimal function and aesthetically acceptable outcomes. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness and complication rates of the sublingual gland flap (SGF) in oral soft tissue reconstruction. The procedure for harvesting SGF and the strengths and limitations of the flap are discussed.Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 13 patients suffering from oncological diseases who underwent soft tissue reconstruction with SGF. The patient’s medical charts were evaluated based on histopathological aspects, postoperative complications, and outcomes. Reconstruction of the floor of the mouth was performed in 8 patients (61.5%) and lower gingiva in 5 patients (38.5%), respectively.Results: Complete epithelialization with closure of the defect was achieved within an average of 2 weeks. The observation period ranged from 1 to 33 months, with an average duration of 11.5 months. Partial flap necrosis and ranula occurred in one patient (7.7%). Furthermore, postoperative bleeding was observed in one patient (7.7%), and wound dehiscence and abscess formation were noted in another (7.7%). Locoregional recurrence of the cancer was observed in one case (7.7%).Conclusions: The SGF is effective for achieving successful reconstruction of small‐ and medium‐sized defects in the lower gingiva and floor of the mouth. The complication rate is relatively low.

A ranula is a relatively uncommon condition characterized by the formation of a mucus-filled cyst within the floor of the mouth. This benign lesion typically originates from a blocked or damaged sublingual salivary gland duct, accumulating saliva in a localized cyst-like structure. Aspiration of cystic fluid, sclerotherapy, marsupialization, incision and drainage, excision of the ranula alone, excision of the sublingual gland with or without ranula, laser excision, and ranula vaporization are just a few of the suggested therapies for ranula. The outcomes of the varied treatments have been inconsistent. Most surgeons concur that the sublingual gland must be removed from the ranula. The authors provide a case report on carbon dioxide laser treatment for ranula, as well as a literature review. According to the authors' experience and literature, carbon dioxide laser excision of ranula is a safe procedure with minimum recurrence.
