title: Extraoral parotid sialolithotomy.
abstract: The extraoral approach to duct surgery for the removal of parotid stones can be a simple procedure once the stone is accurately located in relation to the skin surface. The combination of sialography and sonography can provide this information. A case report demonstrates the step-by-step approach to diagnosis, localization, and surgery for the management of such extraglandular sialoliths.
