Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sialolithiasis consists of calcified structures in either the salivary gland or ductal system and alteration of salivary gland parenchyma. To investigate the clinicopathological features of sialolithiasis in Korean patients, we selected 60 patients with sialolithiasis diagnosed at the Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Their clinical records and radiographs were reviewed with the analysis of available histologic data from 32 cases. The male to female ratio was 1.1:1. Sialolithiasis is most common between the ages of 20 and 60 years and occurred most frequently in the submandibular gland (97%). Upon microscopic examination, most lesions showed moderate-to-severe inflammatory infiltration and parenchymal changes such as ductal metaplasia, acinar necrosis and fibrosis. Consequently, Korean patients exhibited clinicopathological features similar to those previously reported.
