Sialolithiasis is one of the frecuent pathologies that affect the salivary glands, and  the submandibular gland is the most commonly affected due to it´s anatomy. There are many theories that try to explain the etiology, but is not yet fully determined. The most common symptom is the presence of pain, especially when eating because of the salivary stimulation produced by food. Other symptoms seen are the inflammation of the floor of mouth and infection associated with chronic sialadenitis processes; the formation of cutaneous fistulas is rare. This case report presents a 31-year-old male patient  with an extra-oral fistula located on the left side of his neck subzone Ib (submandibular); with chronic sialadenitis associated with sialolithiasis in the left Wharton's duct with a four-year progress. The surgical management is described and a review of the literature is performed.

AbstractTumours of the sublingual salivary gland are exceptionally rare. The present case report describes an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the sublingual salivary gland occurring in a 16-year-old girl, in itself an uncommon event. In addition, an interesting feature of the presentation was obstruction of the ipsilateral submandibular gland due to involvement of Wharton's duct.

ABSTRACT Sialolithiasis is a pathological process that affects the major salivary glands. It consists of calcifications that obstruct the parenchyma of the gland and / or the lumen of the ducts. The 37 years old female patient, VBB, leucoderma, attended the stomatology service with a complaint of swelling in the floor of mouth, which she noticed 10 years ago. The clinical and radiographic exams indicated a diagnosis of multiple sialolithiasis in the left submandibular gland duct. Surgical intervention was indicated in this case. Amongst all sialolithiasis cases, 80% affect the submandibular glands. Of these, 70% are isolated sialoliths. Only 5% of cases present more than 3 calcifications. This study aims to report the diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of multiple sialoliths located in the duct of the submandibular gland, which were surgically removed via intraoral access.

Sialolithiasis accounts for the most common cause of diseases of salivary glands. The majority of sialoliths occur in the submandibular gland or the Wharton’s duct. Obstructive sialadenitis is the most frequent non-neoplastic salivary disorder with sialoliths being the main cause. This case report presents a case of a sialolith in the left Wharton’s duct in an adolescent, which was diagnosed using radiographs and removed via a simple intra-oral approach. Keywords: Sialolith, Sialadenitis, Wharton’s duct, intra oral approach

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.

ABSTRACTSialoliths are the most common diseases of the salivary glands. They may occur in any of the salivary gland ducts but are most common in Wharton’s duct and the submandibular gland. This report presents clinical and radiographical signs of two unusually large sialoliths. There were painless swellings on the floor of the mouth in both cases. Radiographical examination revealed large irregular radioopaque mass superimposed right canine and premolar areas. After the lesions were removed, histopathological examination was performed and lesions were diagnosed as sialoliths. (Eur J Dent 2009;3:135-139)
