Although the presentations of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) are variable, ranging from mild dryness to wider systemic involvement, ranulas as early clinical signs were scarcely reported. Here, we present an adult patient with SS, who developed a unilateral simple ranula and was diagnosed primary SS 3 years later. We also provide a review of cases of SS and ranulas from 1980 to 2020.
