Abstract: (56 Views)
Salivary stones, or sialoliths, are calcified masses that can obstruct the ducts of the salivary glands, resulting in various clinical manifestations. This case report details the rare occurrence of a large submandibular duct calculus in a 42-year-old male who initially presented with sore throat symptoms. The patient’s clinical history, physical examination, imaging findings, and treatment approach are thoroughly outlined. This case underscores the necessity of including salivary stones in the differential diagnosis when managing patients with unusual symptoms in the head and neck region, particularly in those with atypical sore throat presentations.
