Sialolithiasis, the formation of calcific concretions in the salivary
duct of a major or minor salivary gland, is a common salivary
gland pathology. These calcifications usually develop in the ductal system of the submandibular salivary gland, but can involve
the parotid gland and, infrequently the ducts of sublingual or minor salivary glands. 1 The size of salivary calculi may vary from
less than 1 mm to a few centimeters in size, with most cases being
less than 10 mm in size.2 Although large and multiple sialoliths
have been reported in the salivary glands, they have been rarely
reported in the salivary duct.2 Here we are reporting a case of
multiple Wharton duct sialolithiasis.
This case report describes a 32-year-old female patient who presented with acute pain in the left submandibular region of the jaw for 2 days. Ultrasonography revealed an enlarged left submandibular gland with a hyperechoic focus of 2.2 cm, indicating left submandibular sialolithiasis and sialadenitis. Sialolithiasis occurs when salivary calculi form and block the salivary duct, disrupting salivary flow and potentially causing inflammation or infection of the salivary gland (sialadenitis). The patient was treated conservatively with antibiotics, analgesics, and salt water gargles, with complete resolution of symptoms after 7

ABSTRACT- Mucocele is a commonly found benign, mucus-containing cystic lesion of the minor salivary gland caused
due to the damage or blocking of the glands. The damaged duct causes the saliva to build up and a cyst like swelling
ensues. Histologically they are of two types: Extravasation cyst and Retention cyst. Clinically they present themselves as
soft, bluish and transparent cyst like swelling especially on the lower lip. This case report presents a case of a 35 year old
male patient reporting with a soft bluish swelling on the inside of the lower lip. The history revealed the patients habit of
biting on the lower lip hence a differential diagnosis of mucocele, oral hemangioma, oral lympangioma, lipoma, and soft
tissue abscess was made. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed increase in amylase and protein content. A final
diagnosis was formulated as mucocele from the history of trauma, clinical features, and investigation (chemical analysis).
Complete excision of the lesion was done and sent for histopathological investigation which revealed a mucin-filled
cyst-like cavity beneath the mucosal surface. The patient was kept under observation for 3 months. The healing was
devoid of any scar formation commonly associated with such surgery’s. There was no recurrence of the cyst after 6
months. Alternative treatment modalities are cryosurgery, intralesional steroid injections. Key-words- Mucocele, Cyst, Salivary Retention, Salivary glands, Duct
1) The document discusses sialoendoscopy-assisted sialolithotomy for removing submandibular hilar calculi.
2) It describes the anatomy and diseases of salivary glands, classification of salivary gland stones, and presents several case studies treated with sialoendoscopy.
3) The conclusion is that sialoendoscopy-assisted intraoral removal is a safe and effective gland-preserving technique for patients with large stones located at the hilum of Wharton's duct.
This case report describes a 9-year-old male child who presented with a painless swelling on the inner aspect of his lower lip. The swelling had developed over the past 3 months and was diagnosed as a mucocele based on the reported history of trauma to the lip and clinical features of the lesion. The mucocele was surgically removed and microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis. Mucoceles typically develop due to obstruction or trauma of minor salivary glands and are best treated with complete surgical excision to prevent recurrence.
This document discusses sialoendoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique for managing obstructive diseases and infections of the salivary glands. Sialoendoscopy involves using a small endoscope introduced into the salivary gland duct to visualize and treat obstructions. Common indications for sialoendoscopy include mucous plugs, foreign bodies, sialolithiasis (salivary duct stones), and strictures/adhesions. The technique involves dilating the salivary duct opening and then inserting a sialoendoscope along with irrigation to expand the ducts and allow visualization and treatment of obstructions.

Sialoendoscopy – a novel minimally invasive diagnosticmelbia shine
Sialoendoscopy is an endoscopic procedure used to visualize and treat disorders of the major salivary gland ductal systems. It was first developed in the 1990s and allows for both diagnostic evaluation and minimally invasive therapeutic interventions for conditions such as salivary duct stones, strictures, tumors and foreign bodies. The procedure involves cannulating the duct with increasingly larger dilators and then inserting an endoscope to directly visualize the ductal system and perform interventions if needed. Sialoendoscopy has advantages over conventional external surgical approaches as it is less invasive and allows for complete evaluation and clearance of ductal obstructions.
This case report describes the surgical treatment of a 36-year-old male patient with an ameloblastoma tumor in the right side of the lower jaw. The tumor was excised via a trapezoidal flap surgery under general anesthesia. Histopathological examination found it to be an acanthomatous ameloblastoma. A reconstruction plate was fixed to prevent mandible fracture. The patient recovered well after surgery and was discharged after 3 days. Ameloblastomas are odontogenic tumors that commonly affect young people and have varying presentations depending on location and histological subtype.
This document discusses the anatomy, imaging, and clinical evaluation of the salivary glands. It describes the major and minor salivary glands and lists common salivary gland complaints such as sialolithiasis, infection, Sjogren's syndrome, and tumors. Imaging modalities for evaluating salivary glands are discussed, including intraoral radiography, sialography, ultrasound, CT, MRI, scintigraphy, and sialendoscopy. The document provides examples of how various salivary gland pathologies appear on different imaging tests.
This document describes 3 case studies of patients diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma in different oral regions. The first case involved a large tumor in the right maxillary region of a 48-year-old female tobacco chewer. The second case was a tumor on the posterior right side of the tongue of a 53-year-old female tobacco chewer. The third case was a tumor in the right retromolar trigone region of a 53-year-old male tobacco chewer with an enlarged submandibular lymph node. All 3 cases underwent wide local excision or resection of the tumor with clear margins and lymph node dissection, and histopathology confirmed verrucous carcinoma with no involvement of margins or lymph
This case report compares the histological differences between laser biopsy and scalpel biopsy for a plasma cell gingivitis lesion. A split-mouth design was used where laser biopsy was performed on one side of the mouth and scalpel biopsy on the other side. Histological analysis found that laser biopsy resulted in loss of epithelium and connective tissue margins compared to intact epithelium for scalpel biopsy. Post-operative healing at 30 days showed thicker epithelium and more blood vessels for laser biopsy compared to scalpel biopsy. While laser biopsy provides better hemorrhage control, it can cause thermal artifacts that may impact histological interpretation, particularly for small lesions where margin assessment is important.
This document describes a case report of a mucocele occurring on the ventral surface of the tongue in a 13-year-old female patient. Mucoceles are benign cystic lesions caused by mucus accumulation due to salivary duct obstruction or rupture. They rarely occur on the tongue in the glands of Blandin-Nuhn. Histopathological examination of an excised lesion from the patient revealed extravasated mucin pooling, confirming a diagnosis of mucocele. Mucoceles of these minor salivary glands are an uncommon but important consideration for asymptomatic masses on the tongue ventral surface.
Two Way Approach For Enucleation Of Maxillary Radicular Cyst.iosrjce
This document describes a case study of a 39-year-old male patient who presented with pain and swelling in the left upper back tooth region. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed a large radicular cyst extending from the upper left canine to third molar region. The cyst was initially enucleated through an intraoral approach. Later, a functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed through the maxillary antrum to inspect for any residual cyst lining, since the patient also had a deviated nasal septum requiring septoplasty. No residual cyst was observed during endoscopy. This case report demonstrates that large maxillary radicular cysts can be effectively treated through both conventional intraoral enucleation and an end
This case report describes a 34-year-old male patient who presented with pain and pus discharge from a recently extracted tooth. Radiographs revealed two distinct radiolucencies - a large cyst in the left mandible and a smaller cyst in the right mandible. Histological examination found the left cyst to be a radicular cyst and the right cyst to be a dentigerous cyst. This presented a diagnostic dilemma due to the unusual presentation of multiple cysts occurring bilaterally and with atypical features for the cyst types.

Lipoma of the Small Intestine: A Cause for Intussusception in AdultsKETAN VAGHOLKAR
This case report describes a rare case of small intestinal intussusception in a 22-year-old male patient caused by a lipoma. Imaging including ultrasound and CT scan revealed the classic signs of intussusception and identified a likely lipoma as the cause. During surgery, an ileoileocolic intussusception was found and gently reduced, finding a submucosal lipoma as the pathological lead point. The involved intestinal segment containing the lipoma was resected. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of benign submucosal lipoma. The patient recovered well with no further symptoms.
Dental diagnosticians are responsible for detecting salivary gland disorders using applicable imaging techniques. Salivary gland disorders can be inflammatory, non-inflammatory, or space-occupying masses. Clinical signs may include swelling, pain, altered salivary flow, and a review of medical history. Diagnostic imaging is used to differentiate inflammatory from neoplastic processes, identify sialoliths, and determine tumor location and characteristics. Common imaging modalities discussed include plain radiography, sialography, CT, MRI, scintigraphy, and ultrasonography.
Transgastric and transvaginal endoscopic cholecystectomy procedures were performed in 27 patients between 2007-2008. The procedures were performed using hybrid NOTES techniques, with laparoscopic assistance. Both transgastric and transvaginal routes were utilized to access the peritoneal cavity. The authors present their initial experience with these novel natural orifice techniques for cholecystectomy in humans.
This clinical report describes a case of a child who inserted a metallic foreign body (a thimble) into their mouth. The foreign body became lodged in the child's nasopharynx. The foreign body was diagnosed clinically and radiologically. An ENT doctor removed the foreign body orally in an outpatient procedure using a laryngoscope and forceps. The child recovered without complications and was discharged with oral antibiotics. This case highlights the unusual occurrence of a foreign body inserted through the mouth becoming lodged in the nasopharynx.
This case report describes the surgical excision of an unusual sialolith (salivary gland stone) located in the floor of the mouth of a 45-year-old male patient. Clinical examination revealed a sessile nodule on the left lingual side of the mandible. Radiographic examination did not show any calcifications. The sialolith was surgically excised under local anesthesia. The excised tissue measured 3.5x1.5x1.5 cm. Post-operative follow up showed satisfactory healing. Sialoliths typically form in the salivary gland ducts due to factors that alter saliva composition and flow. Surgical excision is the treatment for accessible sialoliths
Buccal pad fat for cyst Indian Jr SCT volume 2, issue 1, April 16Avinash Gandi
A 14-year-old boy presented with a swelling on the right side of his face and upper jaw caused by a large dentigerous cyst. The cyst involved the area where his impacted right maxillary canine and other teeth were located. The patient's buccal pad of fat was harvested and processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) stem cells. After removing the cyst surgically, the SVF cells were administered to the bone defect area to aid bone regeneration and support orthodontic tooth movement. At 16 months post-operatively, good bone regeneration was observed and the patient was undergoing orthodontic treatment to align the impacted canine.

1. Abstract
Salivary gland calculi account for the most common disease of the salivary glands. The majority
of sialoliths occur in the submandibular gland or its duct and are a common cause of acute and
chronic infections. Sialolith can be unilateral, bilateral, single or multiple. Depending on the
gland affected and stone location, there are various methods available for the management of
salivary stones or calculi. here we report case of multiple sialolith in Wharton duct.

Case Report
2. Introduction
Sialolithiasis, the formation of calcific concretions in the salivary
duct of a major or minor salivary gland, is a common salivary
gland pathology. These calcifications usually develop in the duc-
tal system of the submandibular salivary gland, but can involve
the parotid gland and, infrequently the ducts of sublingual or mi-
nor salivary glands. 1 The size of salivary calculi may vary from
less than 1 mm to a few centimeters in size, with most cases being
less than 10 mm in size.2 Although large and multiple sialoliths
have been reported in the salivary glands, they have been rarely
reported in the salivary duct.2 Here we are reporting a case of
multiple Wharton duct sialolithiasis.
3. Case Report
A 40-year-old male reported to our out-patient department with
a chief complaint of pain beneath the left side of the tongue for
the past 3 months. History revealed that the pain was slow in
onset, dull aching, intermediate and moderate in intensity. He
reported that the pain has been progressive since its onset and got
aggravated during meals, especially while having sour food, fol-
lowed by a period of self regression. No history of radiating pain
and other associated symptoms were provided by the patient. On
inspection, multiple dome-shaped swellings were noted on the
left side floor of the mouth (Fig 1). Among the two swellings, the
larger one measured approximately 0.5×0.5 cm at its greatest di-
mension. Anteroposteriorly, swelling extended from the lingual

frenum towards the 36 region. The surface of the swellings and
the surrounding mucosa appeared normal. The swellings were
tender, hard in consistency, non-fluctuant, non-compressible,
non-reducible, and not fixed to any underlying structures. Based
on the history reported by the patient and clinical findings, pro-
visional diagnosis of left submandibular gland sialolithiasis was
made.
