Abstract
We describe a case of congenital ranula or retention salivary cyst diagnosed at 26 weeks of gestation. The fetal karyotype was obtained by amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, and was normal. Follow-up ultrasound scans revealed no changes in the size or the position of the cyst. Surgical treatment was performed 2 days after a normal vaginal delivery, with excellent results.
