International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations.IJCRI publishes Review Articles, Case Series, Case Reports, Case in Images, Clinical Images and Letters to Editor. Website: www.ijcasereportsandimages.com Unusually large sialolith of submandibular glandHaci Taner Bulut ABSTRACT Introduction: Pathologically sialolithiasis is a disease which results in the obstruction of a salivary gland by a sialolith. Sialolith is generally seen in small size and their sizes range from 1 mm to 1 cm. Large salivary gland calculi are infrequent and defined as the size of 1.5 cm or larger. Only a few cases of large sialolith of the submandibular glands have been reported in literature. Imaging methods have an important role in making a diagnosis and in planning further management, operative or otherwise. Case Report: A 52-year-old male patient with multiple stones in the submandibular gland admitted to our hospital with swelling at submandibular region. Plain films show large stones at the region of submandibular gland. The maximum stone size was 1.8x0.8 mm. Submandibular gland size increased due to the sialoadenitis caused by stones. After surgery, the patient had a nearly normal function of the glands for three months. Conclusion:The swelling which is seen in the submandibular region most commonly originates from sialolithiasis of submandibular gland, so it should be carefully evaluated by clinicians. Diagnostic imaging methods may complement each other in examining glands with sialolithiasis and may offer a promising diagnostic strategy for treatment and follow-up studies in sialolithiasis.

“…Se han reportado casos de sialolitos de hasta 6, 7 y 9 cm asociados a glándula submandibular, aunque usualmente los cálculos mayores a 3cm, conocidos como sialolitos gigantes, son raros afirma Shingal et al (24).…”

“…De acuerdo a Prado et al (5), el tratamiento depende del compromiso de la funcionalidad de la glándula según su cronicidad de la inflamación, localización y tamaño del sialolito. Cuando no son tratados a tiempo, podrían exfoliarse solos en el piso de la boca, ulcerar el conducto y perforar el piso de la boca, o asociarse con fístulas cutáneas por infección supurativa menciona Shingal et al (24).…”

RESUMENLa sialolitiasis es una de las patologías que afectan con mayor frecuencia las glándulas salivales, y es en la glándula submandibular donde se presenta más comúnmente debido a sus características anatómicas. Existen muchas teorías que explican su etiología, pero aún no está completamente determinada. La sintomatología más común es la presencia de dolor, especialmente a la hora de comer debido a la estimulación salival producida por los alimentos. También se presenta inflamación del piso de la boca e infección, asociadas a procesos de sialadenitis crónica, la formación de fístulas cutáneas es muy poco frecuente. Se reporta el caso de un paciente masculino de 31 años quien presenta una fístula extraoral en lado izquierdo su cuello, a nivel de subzona Ib (submandibular) con una sialadenitis crónica asociada a sialolitiasis en el conducto de Wharton izquierdo con una evolución de cuatro años. Se realiza la descripción del manejo quirúrgico y se hace una revisión de la literatura. PALABRAS CLAVE

“…Sialoliths are larger than 15 mm in length and 1 g in weight are called "Giant Stones" or "Megaliths" and have been rarely reported (7.6%) in the medical literature. 1,4,7,8 A salivary calculus develops by continuous deposition at a rate of approximately 1 to 1.5 mm per year, and it could be hypothesized that it could take at least 10 years to obtain a stone classified as megalith. 7,9 The ability of a calculus to grow and become a giant sialolith depends mainly on the affected duct's reaction.…”
