Sialolithiasis - a Case Report

Kamenci u izvodnim kanalima žlijezda slinovnica čine vjerojatno jednu od najčešćih bolesti žlijezda slinovnica osoba srednje životne dobi. Simptomatologija je jasna i prepoznatljiva, a dijagnostički postupci jednostavni i lako izvodljivi. Autori prikazuju slučaj gigantiformnog sijalolita izvodnoga kanala desne submandibularne žlijezde slinovnice s anamnezom od 6 godina. Slučaj je zanimljiv iz dvaju razloga.
