Abstract
A 44-year-old male patient presented with a com- plaint of dysphonia. On oropharynx examination, a polypoid mass was detected in the right vocal cord and firmness in the floor of the mouth, 3-4 cm in size. Computed tomography shovved a stone in the right VVharton’s duct. Saliva came out of the orifice of the VVharton’s duct on palpation. The stone was removed transorally. Despite its huge size 30x20 mm , the patient had no complaint. No recurrence was seen during a follow-up period of 18 months with ultrasonography.

Abstract
Ses kısıklığı yakınmasıyla başvuran ve sağ vokal kordunda polipoid lezyon saptanan 44 yaşında- ki erkek hastanın orofarenks muayenesinde ağız tabanında, sağ tarafta 3-4 cmʼlik sertlik fark edildi. Bilgisayarlı tomografide sağ Wharton kanalında taş belirlendi. Palpasyonla Wharton kanalının ağzından tükürük akışı görülüyordu. Taş intraoral olarak çıka- rıldı. Taşın büyüklüğü 30x20 mm olmasına rağmen hastanın hiçbir yakınması yoktu. Hastanın ameliyat sonrası 18 aylık ultrasonografi ile takiplerinde her- hangi bir sorunla karşılaşılmadı
