Abstract
Sialoliths are commonly encountered soft tissue calcification of salivary glands. Most commonly occurring in adult population,they may be asymptomatic and diagnosed on routine dental examinations or present with symptoms of pain and swelling of the involved gland.Thus, thorough examination and investigation is mandatory to reach the correct diagnosis of sialolithiasis. This paper presents an interesting case of unusually large submandibular sialolith indicated for surgical removal that, surprisingly, exfoliated by itself eliminating the need for surgery along with a literature review.
