[Submandibular sialolith: case report and review of the literature].
Sialolithiasis is a common disease of the salivary glands and a major cause of salivary gland dysfunction. The dominance of submandibular sialoliths is widely investigated. Giant stones (>15 mm) are rare, approximately every tenth or twelfth of the stones belong to this category. Sialo-oral or sialo-cutaneous fistula formation promotes the growth of an excessive size. In their presentation, the authors would like to introduce the diagnostic and therapeutic process of a giant (27 mm) submandibular sialolith and give a review of the literature.
