Giant sialolithiasis appearing as odontogenic infection
S Kaltman
and
M Eichner
The dentist frequently is called on to diagnose pathoses of the head and neck region. Two reports of giant submandibular sialoliths that were originally diagnosed as submandibular space odontogenic infections are presented. Careful history, and physical and radiographic examinations are necessary to assure proper diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
