Growth rate of salivary glands calculi: an interesting case
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2003Salivary calculi grow by deposition, at a rate that has been estimated at approximately 1–1.5 mm per year,1 and range in size from 0.1 to 30 mm.2 The most common site is the submandibular gland where 80–90% of calculi are found. We present a case of a 63-year-old male who originally presented with a 25 × 30 mm stone (Fig.

[Salivary gland calculi with ambulatory treatment].
Dental Cadmos, 1992The surgical treatments suggested on selected patients are: --local anaesthesia, normally, when the calculus are located in the terminal seats of Wharton's and Stenone's duct; --general anaesthesia, as a rule, in surgical enucleation of the calculus seated up the duct or inside the gland.

Giant salivary gland calculi: Diagnostic imaging and surgical management
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2002Giant salivary gland calculi (GSGC; >15 mm) are considered rare. Only 14 well-documented cases have been reported in the literature since 1942. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the imaging modality and treatment outcome of patients with GSGC.Six personally observed subjects with GSGC were evaluated and treated.

Possible etiology of calculi formation in salivary glands: biophysical analysis of calculus
Medical Molecular Morphology, 2005Sialolithiasis is one of the common diseases of the salivary glands. It was speculated that, in the process of calculi formation, degenerative substances are emitted by saliva and calcification then occurs around these substances, and finally calculi are formed. However, the exact mechanism of the formation of calculi is still unclear.

Minor salivary gland calculi. A clinical and histopathological study of 49 cases
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1985The clinical and histopathological characteristics of 49 previously unpublished cases of sialolithiasis of minor salivary glands are presented. The lesions are usually solitary, small, submucosal nodules, which are hard or firm and freely movable in the surrounding tissue and on rare occasions may be multiple.

Salivary gland calculi - contemporary methods of imaging.
Polish journal of radiology, 2012Sialolithiasis is the most common disorder of major salivary glands. The main site of salivary stones' formation is submandibular gland, followed by parotid and sublingual gland. The aim of this article was to present current diagnostic imaging modalities carried out in patients suspected with salivary stones on the basis of own material and review of ...

Chronic inflammation of the salivary glands with or without calculi
International Journal of Orthodontia, Oral Surgery and Radiography, 1931THE symptoms and the clinical picture of chronic inflammation of the salivary glands are sometimes not recognized by either internist or surgeon, with the result that mistakes in diagnosis and treatment are often made. The disease does not necessarily have to be associated with the presence of a stone in the gland or duct, and the stone, if present, is

Salivary calculi as an aetiological factor in chronic sialadenitis of the submandibular gland
Clinical Otolaryngology, 1982During 1960-1975, 115 submandibular glands were removed for reasons other than neoplasia at the Ear, Nose and Throat department, Karolinska sjukhuset, Stockholm. The material was retrospectively analysed with regard to clinical and histopathological findings.

[Accessory salivary gland calculi. Apropos of a case].
Revue de stomatologie et de chirurgie maxillo-faciale, 1994Stones occur in the accessory salivary glands more often than is generally thought due to insufficient diagnosis. Certain factors commonly favour stone formation in the salivary glands in general and others are more specific for the accessory glands. Most often, the consultation is motivated by a painful submucosal nodule.

[Treatment of salivary gland calculi by extracorporeal lithotripsy].
Annales d'oto-laryngologie et de chirurgie cervico faciale : bulletin de la Societe d'oto-laryngologie des hopitaux de Paris, 1996This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of extracorporeal lithotripsy (ECL) in the treatment of salivary stones. In a prospective study, 15 patients suffering from sialolithiasis were treated by applying extracorporeally generated shock waves. No patients needed general anaesthesia, sedatives, or analgesics.
