title: Submandibular gland sialolithiasis: a case report.
abstract: Most cases of sialolithiasis of the submandibular duct are resolved by an intraoral surgical approach. This case is unique in that by virtue of the sialolith's proximity to the hilum of the gland, it was more prudent to perform an excision of the entire gland through an extraoral approach.
