SIALOLITHIASIS IN THE SUBMANDIBULAR GLAND
A CLINICAL REPORT
Keywords:
Sialolithiasis, Submandibular gland, SialoadenitisAbstract
The sialoliths are calcified masses that develop in the parenchyma of the salivary glands or in their ducts. Sialolithiasis may occur in any major salivary gland, but it is most common in the submandibular gland. 80% of sialolith in the submandibular gland is due to the anatomy of this gland and its duct; and, the presence of siaolith is most frequent in the duct. The giant calculi (>15mm) are considered rare and few cases have been reported. These calculi need surgical removal. Usually, it is performed extraorally, under general anesthesia. Sialolithiasis and malignancies coexistence was reported. This is the reason why a precocious diagnosis is very important, as well as pacient´s proservation for a long time. This study shows a case of sialolith bigger than 15mm, supposedly located in the parenchyma of the submandibular gland, surgically and intraorally removed.
