Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study was to present a rare case of multiple parotid calculi (intraglandular and intraductal). Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old man presenting with recurrent painful swelling over the left parotid region. Total conservative parotidectomy was performed. The patient was completely symptom free postoperatively and there was no complication. Management of multiple intraparenchymal and intraductal parotid calculi is not straightforward. Parotidectomy may be required in some selected cases.
Highlights
Sialolithiasis is the most common benign disease of the salivary glands
About 80–90% of sialoliths develop in the submandibular gland or its duct and 6–10% in the parotid gland
There is involvement of the parotid gland in the form of parenchymal calculi or recurrent parotitis, parotidectomy is the treatment of choice, which was performed in our case
