ABSTRACT

Sialoliths or salivary gland stones are one of the most common disorders of salivary glands and account for the majority of cases of obstruction within the gland or duct. Their presence may lead to pain, swelling, and discomfort when eating. The submandibular gland is the commonest site of involvement due to its peculiar anatomy. The parotid, sublingual, and minor salivary glands are less commonly involved. This case report highlights the removal of a large Sialoliths from the submandibular gland duct measuring 38mm by 14mm.
