The dilatations that occur in the body are classified according to different systems: (1) biliary: mega-gallbladder, mega-common bile duct; (2) cardiovascular: cardiomegaly; (3) urinary: megapelvis, megaureter, megabladder; (4) respiratory: bronchiectasis, megabronchus; (5) megapharynx (?); (6) megaesophagus; (7) megastomach; (8) achalasia of the pylorus or hypertrophic pyloric stenosis; (9) me...

Oncocytic lipoadenoma is a rare tumor, with only 18 cases having been reported since the first in 1998. We encountered a case of oncocytic lipoadenoma presenting as a slowly growing parotid mass in a 71-year-old man. This tumor is characteristically comprised of a mixture of oncocytes and adipocytes. The present case is one of five reported cases of oncocytic lipoadenoma showing sebaceous diffe...

We report a case of calculus-like calcified body on the buccal region. The patient was 68-year-old man. He referred to our hospital for further examination due opaque images found in front left mandibular branch panoramic radiography. Findings from first visit confirmed hard mass with diameter 10 mm under mucosa. There were no subjective symptoms, and saliva outflow parotid papilla good. CT fin...

With an incidence of 1.2% in the general population, obstructive sialadenitis, with or without sialolithiasis, represents the most common inflammatory disorder of the major salivary glands.1,2 Sialoliths most commonly occur in the submandibular gland, outnumbering the parotid gland by approximately 4:1, while they occur in the sublingual gland in just 0-6.4% of cases.3,4,5 Because the sublingua...

Sialolithiasis is responsible of 30% of all salivary pathologies. Some 80% to 90% of calculi are found in the submandibular gland [2]. While parotid and sublingual gland have a rate of 10% and 5% respectively. Traditionally, the treatment for calculi in the proximal duct or gland has been sialadenectomy. The main rationale determining surgical policy is the widely held view that proximal stones...
