Abstract
The stones generally involved in sialolithiasis pathology are of variable size, generally ranging from one millimeter to less than one centimeter. Large stones, that is, those larger than 1.5 cm in any axis are rare. We report a 2.5 cm x 1.2 cm stone of the submandibular gland duct revealed by intraductal infection in a 33-year-old woman treated with oral transmucosal surgery under local anesthesia.
