Sialolithiasis of the salivary gland is a benign pathology that occurs most frequently in the submandibular gland because of its anatomic features. Depending on the sialolith size and calcification degree, it can be visible in radiographic examinations. Commonly, patients may experience pain and/or edema, when the ducts are obstructed. The authors report the case of sialolithiasis of the submandibular gland in a 42-year-old, female, white-skinned patient, noticed during routine dental examination. Following diagnosis confirmed by clinical and radiographic examinations, the treatment plan consisted of surgery for removal of the calcified mass. The prognosis is often good, and generally there is no recurrence.
涎腺涎石病是一种良性病变，由于其解剖学特征，最常发生于下颌下腺。根据涎石大小和钙化程度，在影像学检查中可能可见。通常，导管阻塞时患者会出现疼痛和/或水肿。作者报告了一例在常规牙科检查中发现的42岁白种女性下颌下腺涎石病病例。经临床和影像学检查确诊后，治疗方案为手术切除钙化肿块。预后通常良好，一般不会复发。
