Salivary calculi are frequently formed in the submandibular duct. The most common sites are where the duct turns round the distal edge of the mylohyoid, where the duct crosses the lingual nerve, and just distal to the duct orifice. Untreated calculi can cause obstruction and glandular atrophy, and then may exfoliate through the floor of the mouth. An unusual case of cutaneous exfoliation of a salivary gland stone is presented. The importance of early diagnosis and treatment of sialolithiasis are discussed.
涎石常形成于下颌下腺导管。最常见的部位是导管绕过下颌舌骨肌远侧边缘处、导管跨过舌神经处以及导管口远侧。未经治疗的结石可导致梗阻和腺体萎缩，进而可能经口腔底部脱落。本文报告一例涎腺结石皮肤脱落的罕见病例。并讨论了涎石病早期诊断和治疗的重要性。
