Abstract:

There is an increased incidence of submandibular gland duct developing sialoliths. Among them the sialoliths attaining a size of more than 1.5 cms are rare. Here we present a case with an abnormally sized sialolith in Wharton’s duct and a review of the literature about the abnormally sized sialoliths and various anatomical and physiological considerations of the duct which contribute to the higher incidence of sialolith in the duct.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary glands. Commonly, sialoliths measure from 5 to 10 mm in size and stones over 10 mm can be reported as sialoliths of unusual size. Giant sialoliths measuring more than 35 mm are extremely rare, with only around 17 cases published in the literature. We report an asymptomatic case of a sialolith in the submandibular duct measuring 62 × 20 mm and weighing 40 gm, highlighting the management aspects and also review the literature.

Most of the stones are sized less than 10 mm and only 7% of them are larger than 15 millimeters; those are considered giant salivary gland stones.

Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary glands. Its estimated frequency is 1.2% in the adult population. Sialoliths most commonly occur in the submandibular glands. A history of pain or/and swelling in the salivary glands, especially during meal suggests this diagnosis. For small and accessible stones conservative therapies like milking of ducts with palliative therapy can produce satisfactory results. Surgical management should be considered when the stone/stones are inaccessible or large in size as conservative therapies turned out to be unsatisfactory. In this paper, we presen

ABSTRACT Sialolithiasis is a condition where a calcified mass forms within a salivary gland, most commonly in the duct of the submandibular gland. Commonly sialoliths measure from 5 to 10 mm in size and stones over 10 mm can be reported as sialoliths of unusual size. They rarely measure more than 15 mm. Reported here is a case of large submandibular sialolith which was diagnosed clinically and radiographically and treated with no postoperative complication.

Reports clearly showed sialolith occurrence in the parotid gland in 10%, in submandibular gland in 83%, and in sublingual and minor salivary glands in 7%. Typically, sialoliths are visualized on the panoramic radiographs as radiopaque lesions. They are of round or oval shape, cylindrical or irregular

Abstract:

Of the two principal forms of macrolithiasis and microlithiasis in the head and neck, that occurring in salivary glands (sialoliths) is much more prevalent than intravascular lithiasis (angioliths). Sialoliths are also more often symptomatic, particularly when formed in the preponderant gland of involvement, the submandibular gland. Angiolithiasis is always coincidental with vascular stasis: in hemangiomas or varices. Both forms of lithiasis share several radiographic features and have a similar basis of formation. For sialoliths, secretory stasis forms a nidus for mineralization. Thrombus for

Abstract:

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is one of the most common salivary gland malignancies with poor long-term prognosis, but the coexistence of sialoliths is extraordinarily rare. In this article, we report a case of 30-year-old woman with a history of submandibular area swelling with intermittent pain increasing during mealtimes that had led her attending physician to diagnose a sialolith in the left submandibular gland on a radiograph 10 years before. However, the surgical specimen proved to be an adenoid cystic carcinoma accompanied with a sialolith. Histopathologically, the submandibular gland was di

Oropharyngeal inspection identified a mass in the soft palate as the cause for upper airway obstruction. Fine-needle aspiration of the mass evacuated mucohemorrhagic fluid and revealed multiple sialoliths. The sialocele was surgically explored, all sialoliths were removed, the lining of the sialocele was resected, and the remaining defect in the palate was reconstructed and closed. Histology of submitted tissues confirmed it to be a sialocele and the sialoliths consisted of

Abstract:

Introduction: Sialolithiasis is a common condition affecting the salivary glands, particularly the submandibular gland, and is associated with obstructive sialadenitis. It occurs mainly in men and it is linked to the formation of calculi composed of organic and inorganic substances. Factors such as low fluid intake, reduced saliva production, and tobacco chewing contribute to its development. Approximately 80% to 95% of sialoliths affect the submandibular glands, due to their anatomical characteristics. Calculi vary in size and texture, with 30% of cases being asymptomatic.

Abstract:

Salivary gland stones, or sialoliths, are the most common cause of the obstruction of salivary glands. The mechanism behind the formation of sialoliths has been elusive. Symptomatic sialolithiasis has a prevalence of 0.45% in the general population, is characterized by recurrent painful periprandial swelling of the affected gland, and often results in sialadenitis with the need for surgical intervention. Here, we show by the use of immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, computed tomography (CT) scans and reconstructions, special dye techniques, bacterial genotyping, and enzyme activity anal

Background: Sialolithiasis is the most common salivary gland disease. Salivary gland disease usually occurs in middle age, with an incidence of 12 in 1000 in the adult population. The peak incidence is between the ages of 30 and 50. Sialolithiasis generally occurs in the submandibular gland. Sialoliths can be single or multiple. Diagnosis of sialolithiasis can be based on clinical examination or simple supporting examination in the form of sialography.

Lithiasis is the formation of stones within an organ, which can occur in multiple organs. Several studies have reported the possible concurrent occurrence of uroliths and sialoliths, possibly associated with shared comorbidities. This systematic review was conducted to review published research and identify the concurrent presence of uroliths and sialoliths. The review will describe diagnostic modalities, management, and prevention and suggest future research and clinical recommendations

Phleboliths are a specific feature of venous malformations due to venous stasis and may mimic sialoliths on various imaging modalities. Thus venous malformations are often misdiagnosed as sialadenitis due to sialolithiasis. Sialoliths are extremely rare in paediatric patients.

Sialolithiasis is a major cause of salivary gland dysfunction. The submandibular gland is the most common site followed by the parotid gland. The sublingual gland and minor glands are very rare sites for stone formation. This paper describes a case of multiple sialoliths arising in the sublingual gland. They presented on the right floor of the mouth. The sublingual gland and sialoliths were completely removed with careful preservation of the lingual nerve and Wharton’s duct. This was an uncommon sialolithiasis of the sublingual gland in a 14-year-old female.
