Abstract

The case report of a 45 years patient was presented. He was assisted in the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of “Saturnino Lora Torres” Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba due to discomfort in the floor of the mouth with a course of 3 years. After a detailed study it was confirmed that it was a sialadenitis due to sialolithiasis of the right submaxillary gland. An intraoral canalicular sialolectomy was carried out. The stone removed had a conic form, wider in its posterior portion, 3.8 cm long and 4.2 cm in the external circumference, yellow-green color and friable hard consistency.
