Sialolithiasis is a common condition characterized by the formation of salivary stones or calculi, also known as sialoliths, within a salivary gland or its duct. Usually, sialolithiasis presents as salivary gland swelling with intermittent pain around mealtime. All salivary glands can develop sialolithiasis, yet it occurs most commonly in the submandibular gland. In this report, we describe an unusual large sialolith measuring 1.7 cm and uncommonly resembling a canine tooth. The sialolith was removed surgically via intraoral approach, and the salivary secretion was restored.
涎石病是一种常见病症，其特征是在唾液腺或其导管内形成唾液结石或 calculus（也称为涎石）。通常，涎石病表现为唾液腺肿胀，并在进餐时间左右出现间歇性疼痛。所有唾液腺都可能发生涎石病，但最常见于下颌下腺。在本报告中，我们描述了一例罕见的大涎石，大小为 1.7 厘米，形状异常类似犬齿。通过口腔内入路手术切除了该涎石，唾液分泌得以恢复。
