An Aberrant Case of Large Submandibular Gland Sialolith With Obstructive Sialadenitis in a Young Female

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Sialolithiasis is a major cause of salivary gland dysfunction. Submandibular sialolithiasis with obstructive sialadenitis is a relatively uncommon condition. Submandibular gland sialolithiasis with obstructive sialadenitis accounts for about 2% of all cases of sialadenitis. We are reporting a case of a 20-year-old female who presented with acute-onset swelling in the right submandibular region. The submandibular gland had a large calculus with pericalcular abscess development, which was clearly visible on pre- and post-contrast computed tomography. Subsequently, surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and calculus was removed.
