Abstract

A case of a giant submandibular sialolithiasis complicated with a giant tonsillolith is herein. The patient was a 77-year-old female complaining of swelling of the left submandibular region. The CT examination showed large radiopaque masses in the left submandibular area and the left tonsillar area. An operation was performed under general anesthesia. The left submandibular gland and the left tonsillolith were extracted. The salivary stone was divided into five parts, and the total weight was 2.7g. The tonsillolith was 24×20×14mm and weighed 4.5g. The stones were analyzed with infrared absorption spectrometry. Both of them consisted of CaPO4 and CaCO3.
