Most submandibular duct sialolithiasis cases resolve with intraoral surgery. However, this unique case required an extraoral approach for complete gland excision due to the stone's location near the hilum.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Pathology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Submandibular duct sialolithiasis is common.
  • Intraoral surgical approaches are typically effective for stone removal.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a sialolith (salivary stone) located near the hilum of the submandibular gland.
  • The stone's position made intraoral removal challenging and potentially risky.

Findings:

  • An extraoral surgical approach was necessary for complete submandibular gland excision.
  • This approach was deemed more prudent due to the sialolith's critical anatomical proximity.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering anatomical variations in surgical planning for sialolithiasis.

  • An extraoral approach may be a necessary alternative for complex submandibular sialolithiasis cases.
  • Tailoring surgical strategy to individual patient anatomy is crucial for successful outcomes.
