Abstract

Salivary gland diseases are relatively common. The most frequent non-neoplastic salivary disorder is obstructive sialadenitis. Sialoliths are the main cause of obstructive submandibular sialadenitis. Sialoliths commonly measure between 5 and 10 mm in size and stones over 35 mm are rare. We are reporting about the clinical and radiographic features of giant sialolith with obstructive sialadenitis.
