Résumé

Oral manifestations may be the earliest indicators of HIV infection as it has strong association with oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, linear gingival erythema, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis, Kaposi sarcoma, and lymphoma. Other conditions such as diffuse infiltrative lymphocytosis syndrome, benign lymphoepithelial cyst, and salivary gland neoplasm have also been reported in HIV patients. Ranulas are caused by salivary leakage from the sublingual gland as a result of ductal obstruction or trauma. At the present time, there is no clear evidence of a link between plunging ranula and HIV. The authors described a case of plunging ranula of the right floor of the mouth with a concurrent perioperative diagnosis of HIV. Surgical excision of ranula and associated salivary glands via submandibular and intraoral approach was successfully done with no recurrence over a period of one year. This case also highlights the importance of taking a thorough clinical history from patients and always practicing universal precautions, especially during surgical interventions.
