“…The total number of female patients with megaliths was 7, the youngest of them was reported in 2004 by Raveenthiran, Rao in the submandibular duct of a 10-year-old girl with the size of 35 mm [16] and then in 2003 by Sutay and Contributors were reported in the submandibular parenchyma of a 22-year-old woman [17]. The highest age among patients suffer from megaliths were in women was reported by Leite et al in 2011 in a 54-yearold female submandibular duct [18], and as a result, the youngest patient with salivary megalith in women was a girl with 10 years old. The oldest in men was patient with 75 years old [14][15][16].…”

Background and Aim: Sialoliths are the most common salivary gland disease, Among them, there are rare sialoliths that have a size of more than 15 mm in one dimension, and salivary stones larger than 30 mm in one dimension is megalith that are very rare. Depending on the location and size of the stone, there are different diagnostic and therapeutic methods. In this article, we review the articles about salivary megaliths of unusual and gigantic size, the cause of stones formation and the method of diagnosis and treatment of salivary megaliths. In this review article finding the number of reported salivary megaliths, causes, mechanism of stone formation, clinical presentation, diagnostic and therapeutic methods were written. Materials and Methods: In this article review, Information was extracted through searches in databases by entering the keywords. Articles with incomplete data or articles that were less relevant to the topic or reported articles with giant stones smaller than 30 mm were excluded. Results: A total of 77 articles, 85 patients suffering from megaliths and 86 salivary megaliths with a size of 30 mm and upwards have been reported up to now. The largest size is reported to be 83 mm. Megalith is more common in men and in the submandibular duct. Conclusion: salivary megaliths are rare and Depend on the location of megaliths various diagnosis and treatment are available. The exact cause of the formation of them is unknown and further research is needed to identify the etiopathogenesis of the formation of these kind of gigantic salivary stones.

Salivary gland diseases are often linked to sialolithiasis with mainly involving the submandibular gland and ducts. Sialolithiasis can vary in different sizes, shapes and any measurements exceeding 15mm are considered as giant sialoliths. Swelling to the salivary glands is closely linked to sialolithiasis and is still considered as an infrequent diagnosis. The clinical case involves a 55-year-old male patient with evident swelling to the left submandibular area of the mouth. The correct diagnosis was identified and with the use of a computed tomography (CT Scan) confirmed the presence of a giant sialolith. It is imperative to examine the oral area to identify any tenderness or concerning enlargements and therefore a palpable intraoral was carried on the sialolith.

“…2 Acredita-se que a estagnação salivar, associada à alcalinidade da saliva, infecção, inflamação ou trauma físico do ducto ou da glândula salivar possam predispor à formação de cálculo. 7 Apesar da frequente alteração glandular, a presença de cálculos gigantes é extremamente rara, pois a maioria dos sialólitos não excede 1,5cm³ e se acredita que possa aumentar cerca de 1mm por ano. 4 Neste caso, com as dimensões de aproximadamente 18 mm em sua maior extensão, pode ser considerado gigante.…”

A sialolitíase é uma das doenças mais comuns das glândulas salivares, sendo um fenômeno caracterizado pela obstrução do ducto excretor devido a um cálculo. Entretanto a presença de cálculos gigantes é extremamente rara pois a maioria dos sialolitos não excede 1,5cm³. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar um caso de cálculo gigante localizado no ducto da glândula submandibular direita, com tamanho aproximado de 18mm em uma paciente do gênero feminino com 56 anos de idade. Além disso, etiologia, patogênese, características clínicas e aspectos do tratamento serão discutidos.
