Abstract
Sialolithiasis is one of the most common condition affecting the major salivary glands. This benign disorder is characterized by a partial or complete obstruction of the salivary glands or their ducts.
More than 80 % of salivary calculi occur in the submandibular ductal system. Parotid gland involvement is relatively rare, accounting for 5–10 % of cases. Its diagnosis is particularly challenging for the practitioners, which can lead to delayed diagnosis.
The aim of this article is to report a case of parotid sialolithiasis in Stenon's duct, diagnosed late after four years of recurrent acute sialadenitis episodes.
