Large perforating Submandibular Stone-A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Health and Craniofacial Science - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Salivary stone (sialothiasis) is a calcifying concentration within the ductal system of salivary gland [1]. The majority of salivary calculi occur in the submandibular gland duct because of its length, upward course and the thicker mucus [2]. Submandibular salivary stone is a common cause for recurrent submandibular gland swellings [3]. Recurrent obstruction of salivary flow is the main cause for salivary gland swellings, which makes salivary gland removal in some of these cases inevitable, despite the considerable advances in salivary gland calculi management [4-6]. Large salivary stones (>10 mm) are relatively uncommon [7-9]. Reviews of cases of giant salivary stone were attempted by different authors [7,10,11]. However, the review done by [12], was the most comprehensive one. They reported 90 cases of giant salivary stones between 1942 and 2014. Apart from 8 cases included in their review, all the reported stones were between 30-65 mm in size. Submandibular salivary gland stones perforating the floor of the mouth, reported in the literature, are even less common. In the last decade 7 cases have been described. The reported cases with perforating submandibular stones were large (≥22 mm). Table 1 summarises the features of the reported cases.
