Una ránula es un tipo de mucocele, es decir, una tumefacción de tejido conjuntivo, encontrado específicamente en el piso de la boca. Consiste en una colección de mucina proveniente de la ruptura del conducto de una glándula salival, por lo general causada por un previo trauma local. La palabra ránula proviene del latín que significa rana, debido a su apariencia comparable a la garganta de un sapo.
