Abstract :

 Sialolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the salivary glands. It is a condition characterized by an obstructive phenomenon in a salivary gland or in its excretory duct due to a calculus. The clinical presentation is usually characterized by local swelling, pain, infection of the affected area, and dilation of the salivary duct. Sialolithiasis usually affects adults between the third and fourth decades of life, with a frequency of 12:1000. Although the frequency of sialolithiasis is relatively high, the occurrence of giant sialoliths, larger than 1.5 cm in any diameter, is rare. For this reason few studies are found in the pertinent medical literature. This report describes a case of giant sialolith in a 26–years–old male, addressing the clinical features, the diagnosis and the surgical procedure performed to restore salivary flow.
