Sialolithiasis is the primary cause of swelling in the major salivary glands. The etiopathogenesis is not clear. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a slow-growing salivary gland malignancy with a poor prognosis. There are only a few cases in the literature reporting the coexistence of sialolithiasis and adenoid cystic carcinoma. In this report, we present a case that was thought to have sialolithiasis in the foreground because of the calcified image on computed tomography, but was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma after excision, together with a discussion of the relationship between sialolithiasis and carcinogenesis.
涎石病是主要唾液腺肿胀的主要原因。其发病机制尚不清楚。腺样囊性癌是一种生长缓慢、预后较差的唾液腺恶性肿瘤。文献中仅有少数病例报道涎石病与腺样囊性癌并存。在本报告中，我们展示了一例因计算机断层扫描上的钙化影像而被认为主要是涎石病的病例，但在切除后被诊断为腺样囊性癌，并对涎石病与致癌作用之间的关系进行了讨论。
