چکیده
Sublingual gland sialolithiasis is rare and may be misdiagnosed as submandibular gland sialolithiasis, which is more common.

Computed tomography is useful for distinguishing between sublingual gland and submandibular gland sialolithiasis. Here we present a case of sublingual sialolithiasis in a 40-year-old male patient.
