Sialolithiasis, or salivary gland stones, is a common condition that affects the salivary glands, often causing pain and functional issues. This article discusses a clinical case at the specialist clinic at University of Oslo, highlighting the challenges and considerations in diagnosing and treating sialolithiasis. The case involves a 45-year-old woman with a radiopaque lesion in the floor of her mouth. Based on clinical and radiological examination the diagnosis was sialolithiasis, and a sialolithotomy procedure was performed to remove the stone. The discussion covers the causes, radiological features, and treatment options for sialolithiasis.
