title: Giant submandibular sialoliths: literature review and case reports.
abstract: In this report, two giant sialoliths are described that had recurred 25 years after removal of small stones from the same ducts. This is a longer interval between occurrences than has been reported elsewhere. The sialoliths did not cause distress, so the patients declined further investigations or treatment.
