[Diverticulum of the submandibular salivary gland ducts].
Examinations of 125 patients with sialolithiasis showed abnormality of the submandibular duct (diverticulum with a sialolith in it) in 3 (2.4%) patients. The authors suggest that diverticulum of the submandibular duct is in fact a variant of its ectasia and can be regarded as a diagnostic nosological entity.
