One of the most common disorders of the salivary glands is sialolithiasis. A history of pain or/and swelling in the salivary glands, especially during meal suggests this diagnosis. For small and accessible stones conservative therapies like milking of ducts with palliative therapy can produce satisfactory results. Surgical management should be considered when the stone/stones are inaccessible or large in size as conservative therapies turned out to be unsatisfactory. In this paper, we present three cases of sialolithiasis in the submandibular gland along with a review of existing literature. The purpose of this paper is to add three more cases to the literature and review the theories of etiology, clinical features, available diagnostic and treatment procedures.
涎石病是唾液腺最常见的疾病之一。唾液腺出现疼痛或/和肿胀的病史，尤其是在进食期间出现这些症状，提示可能为此病。对于小的且易于触及的结石，像导管按摩等保守治疗结合姑息治疗可产生满意的效果。当结石难以触及或体积较大，且保守治疗效果不佳时，应考虑手术治疗。在本文中，我们呈现了三例下颌下腺涎石病病例，并对现有文献进行了综述。本文的目的是在文献中增加三个病例，并对病因学理论、临床特征、现有的诊断和治疗方法进行综述。
