[9] This shows that most calculi that were found in the proximal part of Wharton's duct or hilum were not at unusually large. The shape of the sialo- liths located in the duct is typically elongated as to follow the anatomy of Wharton's duct, while those situated within the gland or at the hilum tend to be spherical or oval as it was in this case.…”
