Giant Sailolithiasis In Submandibular Duct- A Case Report And Review Of Literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Sailolithiasis is the formation of calculi in the salivary duct or the gland which causes the obstruction of salivary flow. Sialolith occurs more in submandibular gland because of the composition of saliva from this gland and several other anatomic factors. Sialolith longer than 15 mm in length is considered as ‘giant’. Here we report, an unusual case of giant sialolith in submandibular duct. A 33-year-old female was referred with complaints of pain and swelling in the right submandibular area. Occlusal radiograph revealed a radiopaque mass in right submandibular region extending from first premolar to second molar area. Ultra sonography shows a calcified mass of 21mm length present near external opening of distal end of right submandibular duct. Excision was performed in the submandibular duct and a giant sialolith was located. Postoperatively the patient was fully recovered without any complication.
