Abstract :
Sialoliths are common in submandibular salivary gland duct and rarely do they occur in the submandibular gland proper. Very rarely the stones within the gland achieve a gigantiform size, imposing difficulty for the oral physician to differentiate it from a calcified submandibular lymphnode. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, computed tomography and ultrasonography provides additional information in such instances. Here we report acase of giant sialolith in the submandibular gland.
