Abstract
Sialolithiasis is caused by the development of a calculus in the salivary gland or duct, often observed in the oral region. This disease is most common in adults or young adults and rarely develops in children. Among reported all the cases of sialolithiasis, only 3% are seen in the pediatric population. The clinical presentation of sialolithiasis typically consists of a painful swelling of the involved salivary gland at meal times. These characteristic clinical signs often lead to an easy diagnosis. Most commonly affected is the submandibular gland 92%, followed by the parotid 6% and sublingual and minor salivary glands 2%. Here, we report the 4 cases of sialolithiasis of the submandibular gland with multiverse presentation.
