Ağız Tabanına Perforasyon Gösteren Dev Tükürük Bezi Taşı

Tükürük bezi taşları kanal içindeki maddelerin çeşitli nedenlerle kalsifiye olması ile gelişir. Bu taşlar en çok submandibular tükürük bezinde görülür. Zamanla büyüyen taş ile beraber kanalın da genişlemesi nedeniyle bazı durumlarda taş çok büyük boyuta ulaşmadan klinik belirti vermez. Düzensiz yapıdaki taşlar tükürük bezi kanalı duvarında basınç oluşturarak kanalı perfore edebilir. Daha sonra tükürük akışı bu perforasyondan devam eder. Bu vaka raporunda çok büyük boyutlara ulaşmış ve kanalı dil tabanına yakın kısımdan perfore etmiş siyalolit sunulmuştur

Giant Sialolithiasis Perforated to the Floor of the Mouth

Calcification of substances in the duct due to various reasons leads to development of salivary gland stones. Salivary gland stones are usually seen in submandibular salivary glands. Salivary duct expands with enlarging stone. Therefore in some cases there are no clinical symptoms till the stone reaches a huge size. Stones, which have irregular structure, can perforate the salivary duct due to increased pressure to the walls. After perforation, salivary flow continues where the perforation occurs. Sialolith which reached to a huge size and perforated the salivary duct around the base of the tongue is presented in this case report
