Abstract
Case records of 180 patients with calculi of the salivary glands were studied with reference to symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. In the series, the submaxillary gland was affected most frequently, with the parotid and sublingual glands next in frequency. In many cases the symptoms of recurrent pain and swelling dated back many years. Removal of the offending calculus is recommended when symptoms warrant; however, total excision of the gland is the treatment of choice in severe cases. Results after excision of the stone have been good, but the diseased gland is likely to form other stones. Patients who have undergone excision of the involved gland have had no recurrence of symptoms and no untoward complications.
