Abstract
Sialolithiasis is the development of mineralized structures within excretory salivary ducts or glandular parenchyma. A large sialolith of the left submandibular gland is reported. Man, 55, presented an exophytic, irregular, firm, normochromic, and painful nodule in the left posterior region of the floor of the mouth. The lesion excreted pus and was present for 3 months. He gave a history of calcification in the submandibular gland over 10 years. Panoramic radiographs revealed coalescing radiopacities; submandibular gland ultrasonography showed a 0.2-cm calcification.
