Parotid duct sialolithiasis: A case report

Abstract

Parotid sialolithiasis, though uncommon salivary gland sialolithiasis, can present as unilateral painful or painless swelling of the gland. Often the stone is situated in the ductal system rather than gland itself. We are presenting a case of 32 years female with right parotid duct sialolithiasis. She presented with intra-oral swelling at parotid duct opening. The sialolith was removed under local anaesthesia by placing incision directly over the sialolith parallel to the course of salivary duct exposing the stone via intra-oral approach.
