ABSTRACT
Salivary duct lithiasis is a condition characterized by the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct due to the formation of calcareous concretions or sialoliths resulting in salivary ectasia and even provoking the subsequent dilation of the salivary gland. It most commonly involves submandibular gland (80 to 90%) and less frequently parotid (10 to 20%). The authors report 2 cases of parotid sialolithiasis. The first case involved a 46-year-old male patient complaining of the left parotid area pain and swelling, and presenting with a salivary calculus in the left parotid duct. When the patient was diagnosed, he refused surgical removal. The second case involved a 41-year-old male patient complaining of the right parotid area pain and swelling, and presenting with a salivary calculus in the right parotid duct. The sialolith was surgically removed under general anesthesia. In this paper, we also reviewed a series of concepts related to the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of sialolithiasis.
