Report of 2 Rare Cases of Bilateral Submandibular Sialolithiasis in Patients with Autoimmune Disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sialolithiasis is a condition characterized by the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct by calcareous concretions. It is a common disease of major salivary glands and mainly affects the submandibular gland. Bilateral submandibular sialolithiasis, however, is a rare condition. No systemic disorders, with the exception of gout, were found to be related to salivary stone formation. We present 2 patients presenting with bilateral submandibular sialolithiasis. In the first case, the patient was treated with removal of the submandibular gland on the left side and removal of the salivary stone, intraorally, on the right side. In the second case the patient underwent bilateral submandibular gland removal due to the location of the stones. However, no decrease in salivary flow was noted following the operation. We also review the literature on submandibular sialolithiasis.
