It can also be found on the inner side of the cheek (known as the buccal mucosa), on the anterior ventral tongue, and the floor of the mouth.

    Cysts of the jaws are cysts—pathological epithelial-lined cavities filled with fluid or soft material—occurring on the bones of the jaws, the mandible and maxilla.Those are the bones with the highest prevalence of cysts in the human body, due to the abundant amount of epithelial remnants that can be left in the bones of the jaws.

    However, if any epithelium from the cyst sac is left behind during surgery, the cyst may regrow. [8] Surgery of the larynx may also be conducted using a CO 2 laser, which was reported as early as the 1970s. [19] Congenital ductal cysts (those caused by blockage of a glandular duct) may be treated by marsupialization. [20]

    Its genesis is commonly ascribed to the enclavement of epithelial remnants between the two lateral maxillary processes that fuse to form the hard palate, within the palatine suture. [2] The median palatal cyst accounts for only 7.14% of all jaw cysts, making it a rare nonodontogenic lesion. [3]

    Ranula in a female. A ranula usually presents as a translucent, blue, dome-shaped, fluctuant swelling in the tissues of the floor of the mouth. If the lesion is deeper, then there is a greater thickness of tissue separating from the oral cavity and the blue translucent appearance may not be a feature.

    The nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) occurs in the median of the palate, usually anterior to first molars. It often appears between the roots of the maxillary central incisors. Radiographically, it may often appear as a heart-shaped radiolucency. It is usually asymptomatic, but may sometimes produce an elevation in the anterior portion of the palate.
