Patience Pays Off: A Case of Self Exfoliation of Large Parotid Sialolith
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Sialolithiasis is one of the common diseases affecting the salivary glands. The submandibular gland is the most commonly affected gland among the three major salivary glands. The incidence of parotid sialolith is rare and when present, often demands surgical removal. Here, we report a rare case of a female patient presented with large sialolith indicated for surgical removal. However, surprisingly, it resulted in self-exfoliation eliminating the need for surgery as the patient had opted to wait.
