PENATALAKSANAAN GIANT SIALOLITH PADA KELENJAR SUBMANDIBULA (LAPORAN KASUS)

Abstract

We describe a case report of giant sialolit of Wharton's duct in a 46 years old man. This is an unusual presentation of a salivary calculus and to our knowledge such a huge salivary stone. The clinical symptoms and signs were somewhat typical and included acute suppurative cellulitis in the floor. This kind of stone is very interesting because of its large size in this case, of a surgical intervention by extraoral extirpation of the presented sialolith.
