Characterization of lithiasis in minor salivary glands: cases report and revision of a rare phenomenon

Sialolithiasis is a relatively common condition, affecting the major salivary gland ducts with a higher incidence. The finding of sialoliths in minor salivary glands is extremely rare. Some of the reasons that would indicate the limited scientific evidence surrounding the diagnosis of minor salivary...

The finding of sialoliths in minor salivary glands is extremely rare. Some of the reasons that would indicate the limited scientific evidence surrounding the diagnosis of minor salivary gland sialolithiasis could be associated with an underdiagnosis of the pathology, and the absence of histopathological diagnosis after surgical excision. Objective: two cases are presented, in adult patients, with clinical and histopathological diagnosis of sialolithiasis in minor salivary glands, who attended the Outpatient Clinic of the Chair of Stomatology A, of the Faculty of Dentistry, of the National University of Córdoba, in the period 2021-2022. Additionally, a narrative review of some of the possible etiological aspects of this phenomenon is provided. It is important to report these cases to generate greater scientific evidence about this entity and, in this way, achieve a better understanding of it, expand the range of differential diagnoses and therapeutic options for this pathology La sialolitiasis es una condición relativamente frecuente, afectando con mayor incidencia a los ductos de glándulas salivales mayores. El hallazgo de sialolitos en glándulas salivales menores es sumamente infrecuente. Algunos de los motivos que indicarían la escasa evidencia científica en torno al diagnóstico de sialolitiasis de glándulas salivales menores podría estar asociado a un subdiagnóstico de la patología, y a la ausencia de diagnóstico histopatológico posterior a la escisión quirúrgica. Objetivo: se presentan dos casos, en pacientes adultos, con diagnóstico clínico e histopatológico de sialolitiasis en glándulassalivales menores, que concurrieron al Consultorio Externo de la Cátedra de Estomatología A, de la Facultad de Odontología, de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, en el periodo 2021-2022. Además, se brinda una revisión narrativa de algunos de los posibles aspectos etiológicos de este fenómeno. Es importante el reporte de estos casos para generar mayor evidencia científica sobre esta entidad y, de esta manera, lograr un mejor entendimiento de la misma, ampliar el abanico de diagnósticos diferenciales y las opciones terapéuticas de esta patología Facultad de Odontología 2023-12-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/RevFacOdonto/article/view/43425 Revista de la Facultad de Odontología; Vol. 33 Núm. 3 (2023): Rev Fac Odont 33(3)-2023-Diciembre; 44-49 2545-7594 0325-1071 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/RevFacOdonto/article/view/43425/43398 10.25014/ Derechos de autor 2023 Juan Cruz Romero Panico, Rocío Belén, René Luis Panico, Gerardo Marcelo Gilligan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
