Abstract
|
|
|
Stones in the ducts of the salivary glands are common, and although found occasionally in the ducts of the parotid and sublingual glands, they are observed more often in the ducts of the sub maxillary glands. Most of the statistical surveys .agree with that approximately 85% occur in Wharton´s duct, about 1C% to 12% in Stensen´s duct, and the remainder in the sublingual ducts. The cause for the ..:formation of salivary calculi is not fully understood yet but thought to be due to -inflammation of the mucous membrane, bacterial mass, or inorganic particles.
Recently the author experienced two cases of salivary stones, one in the maxillary gland and the other in the parotid gland, both on the right side.
The first case was a 15-year-old young student whose chief complaints were ,baby. fist-sized tumor mass and tenderness on the, right sub maxillary region. Mild pharyngitis associated with foreign body sensation in the mouth floor was noted occasionally. Simple X-ray study of the maxillary gland revealed a shadow of moderate size on the right mouth floor.
The second case was 35-year-old man whose chief complaint was walnut-sized tumor mass on the right parotid gland. It used to come on suddenly while eating. X-ray study of the parotid gland did not demonstrate any shadow.
Under local anesthesia, both stones were removed successfully.
