Abstract

Abstract
One of the most common disorders of the salivary glands is sialolith. Sialolith is the formation of calcific integuments within the parenchyma or ductal system of the major or minor salivary glands, but most commonly affects the submandibular salivary gland. Clinical symptoms include swelling and pain in the affected gland. Pain and swelling may recur and be most pronounced during meals. The aim of this case report is to review the clinical and radiological findings of two more sialolite cases, one of which is giant, to the literature. In this article, two cases of submandibular salivary gland sialolith with dimensions of 28x21.29x17.64 mm and 12.98x9.84x5.77 mm are presented. It is important for patients to apply if their complaints increase and to come to regular follow-up appointments for control purposes.
