Abstract
Sialolithiasis is a disease which affects the salivary glands and is characterized by the obstruction of the gland or its excretory duct due to the formation of calcified structures. The development of sialoliths is a multifactorial event. They are more often located within the ductal system of the submandibular gland (72%- 95%) than in the ductal system of the parotid gland (4%- 28%). The present study reports an uncommon case of sialolithiasis in a 45-year-old male patient who presented with swelling and pain in the right parotid duct and was treated by surgical removal of the stone via an intraoral approach under local anaesthesia.
