چکیده
Sialoliths are calcified concrements that develop in the parenchyma or ducts of the salivary glands and are among the most common causes of obstructive sialadenitis. The majority of sialoliths (84%) are located in the submandibular gland, particularly (90%) in the Wharton’s duct. 1 Sialoliths become symptomatic when they block salivary flow or cause an infection. Most patients present with swelling and pain of the salivary gland during meals. 1
