| Summary: | Sialolithiasis is an obstructive salivary disease due to salivary stone formation, also known as "meal time syndrome" because of its association with meal times, usually measuring less than 1 cm.

Here, we report an interesting case of large intraductal sialolith of submandibular salivary gland in an old patient, with relevant radiological investigations and review of literature. |
