“…Due to longer, tortuous and wider diameter of Wharton's duct, more alkaline and viscous content of secretion having mucin proteins, calcium and phosphate salts which flow against gravity predispose submandibular gland to frequent stone formation. [ 4 ] Infections, salivary gland dysfunction, anomalous ducts, foreign body impaction and ductal epithelial metaplasia are other potential causes for sialolithiases. [ 5 ] Two phases of sialolith formation have been described namely central core formation and layered periphery formation.…”

“…Ultrasound, sialography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance sialography are other investigations which are good for locating radiolucent as well as radiopaque stones. [ 4 ] Ultrasound provides accurate non-invasive imaging which can detect stones greater than 1.5 mm with 99% accuracy. Ultrasonography is also best method of demonstrating salivary flow after stones removal.…”

“…If stone is large extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, laser sialolithectomy or surgical removal of stone or gland should be planned. [ 1 4 ] Giant sialoliths can be removed by sialendoscopy. [ 8 ] Surgical management of sialolithiasis depends on location of stone in relation to gland and its duct.…”

Giant submandibular sialolithiasis is uncommon and sialoliths causing sialo-oral fistula are rare. We report a case of giant Wharton's duct sialolithiasis causing sialo-oral fistula in a 40 years male who presented with pain and swelling over right side of floor of mouth for more than two years and visualisation of yellow coloured stone like structure at floor of mouth in the last two days. With diagnosis of Submandibular gland sialolithiasis with sialo-oral fistula, sialolithotomy and marsupialization of Wharton's duct was done under local anaesthesia.

Sialoliths are calcerous concretions seen in the salivary gland parenchyma or its duct, accounting more than 50% of salivary gland diseases. Giant sialoliths measuring 35 mm are rare, with only 19 cases published in literature. Ninety‑five percent of the giant sialoliths reported were in the submandibular gland, all occurring in male patients. Preoperative imaging help in defining the size,location of lesion and helps in planning approach. We are reporting a rare case of giant submandibular gland sialolith in a 52 year male patient measuring 40 mm (probably largest in india), which was removed through transcervical approach under general anesthesia.

“…Bu durumda sialografi, ultrasonografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans sialografi sialolit lokalizasyonunu saptamada kullanılabilen diğer görüntüleme yöntemleridir. 9 Sialolitlerin boyut ve lokalizasyonuna göre tedavi seçenekleri değişmektedir. Tedavide minimal invaziv yöntem seçilmelidir.…”
