Abstract:
Actynomicosis of the submaxillary gland is a very uncommon infectious disease. In this article one case of submaxillary sialolithiasis by actynomices israelii in a young girl is presented. We discuss several aspects of its diagnosis and therapeutic possibilities and review the literature on the subject. We emphasize the interest and value of performing a microbacteriological, mineralogical and pathological study of the calculi.
