Sublingual cyst (swelling of toad)
Mainly due to the duct blockage of sublingual gland or submandibular gland, or the cyst formed by secretion extravasation after the duct rupture. The causes are trauma, salivary gland stones, inflammation and stimulation of the floor of the mouth, etc. The cyst is located at the bottom of the mouth and is light blue in color. It is usually a cyst with a diameter of 1cm, but there are also cysts with obvious swelling. The treatment of sublingual cyst can choose CO2 laser and Nd: YAG laser. The key to treatment is to thoroughly treat the cyst wall, such as removing salivary glands. The complexity of the operation depends on the size of the cyst, which is less than 65438±0cm in diameter. After local anesthesia, the weakest part of the capsule wall was cut with a laser knife, and the inner wall was irradiated with laser after the contents in the cavity were exhausted. If the cavity diameter is large, suture 1 ~ 2 stitches directly. Note that the contents discharged from the cavity should be thoroughly and evenly irradiated on the capsule wall, but there should be no black carbonized tissue. When the inner wall tissue is solidified without re-secretion, the irradiation stops. Larger cysts with a diameter of more than 2cm2 affect the function of tongue extension and food stirring, so we should do a good job of bottom plastic surgery when removing the cysts, that is, restore the normal position and function of the tongue. Because sublingual cysts often have different degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration, inflammatory reaction can be seen. Therefore, after laser surgery, antibiotics should be given for 2 weeks regardless of the size of the cyst.
Sublingual cyst is located at the bottom of the mouth, one side of the lingual frenulum, and it is transparent and slightly blue. The capsule wall is very thin, and the covered oral mucosa can be pushed. The content is colorless viscous liquid. Sublingual cysts are sometimes very large, which can extend to the lower side of the lingual frenulum, or to the bottom of the mouth and protrude to the submandibular.
Sublingual gland cysts are mostly exudative cysts of sublingual gland, which are mostly caused by the damage of glands or ducts of sublingual gland and the leakage of mucus into tissue space.

The radical treatment of sublingual gland cyst is to remove sublingual gland without removing the cyst wall. Patients who are young or weak and can tolerate sublingual adenoidectomy can remove the anterior wall of the cyst and sew its edge with the oral mucosa (bag suture).
