Sialolithiasis, caused by stones in the salivary glands or their excretory ducts, is one of the most prevalent salivary gland diseases. However, it is uncommon in the pediatric population and in the parotid gland. Both conservative and surgical methods are satisfactory options for sialolithiasis treatment. Small stones (<4 mm) located distal to the intraparenchymal gland often respond to conservative treatment. If medical treatment is anticipated to fail or the stones are medium or large sized (≥4 mm), surgery is the preferred option. This report describes a rare case of intraglandular parotid stones in an adolescent patient.
涎石病是由唾液腺或其排泄导管中的结石引起的,是最常见的唾液腺疾病之一。然而,它在儿科人群和腮腺中并不常见。保守治疗和手术治疗都是治疗涎石病的满意选择。位于腺实质内腺体远端的小结石(<4mm)通常对保守治疗有反应。如果预计药物治疗会失败或结石为中、大尺寸(≥4mm),手术是首选方案。本报告描述了一名青少年患者罕见的腺内腮腺结石病例。
