Salivary gland calculi account for the most common disease of the salivary glands. We experienced a rare case of submandibular duct(Wharton's duct) calculi of unusual size and shape in a 40 year-old male patient, who presented with pain and swelling in the region of submandibular gland. The author describes the management of this patient and reviews the literature.

Tumors rarely arise in the sublingual salivary glands. They should be considered malignant until proved otherwise. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is most commonly encountered malignant tumor of the sublingual gland. We report a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma arising from the sublingual gland. Moreover, the sublingual gland had anatomic variation of main duct(Bartholin's duct) which is connected to Wharton's duct.

Manufacturing method and technical procedure of 'SNU Sialoop', which was a new device designed for removal of sialolith, were introduced. Two cases about removal of Wharton's duct sialolith using SNU Sialoop were presented.

Sialolithiasis is the formation of calcific concretions within the ductal system of major or minor salivary glands. The exact nature of sialolith evolution is not known. It may occur at any age but, it is most common in middle-aged adult and rare in childhood. In this paper, a case of sialolithiasis just beneath the mucosa in the anterior portion of the Wharton's duct observed in a 5-year old boy. It was approximately $2.5{\times}5$ mm in size and has no clinical symptoms. Under local anesthesia, it was removed by dilatation of orifice of the duct and pressure on the floor of oral cavity by finger.

Sialolithiasis is the most commom disease of salivary gland. The main symptoms are pain and swelling of the involved gland during eating. It can occur at any age but patients in their third to fifth decade present most cases. Males are more frequently affected than females. Most sialoliths are located within the duct system of the submandibular gland. Submandibular sialoliths close to the hilum of the gland tend to become large and ovoid shape, whereas sialoliths in the duct tend to be elongated. Commonly, sialoliths measure from 1 mm to less than 10 mm, and larger than 15 mm are considered rare. In one case we have removed a giant sialolith which was located in a wharton's duct and in the other case we have removed multiple sialolith including a giant sialolith which were also located in a Wharton's duct. We report these 2 cases with literature reviews.

Sialolithiasis is the most common disease caused by calculi in a salivary gland and its duct. The pain and swelling of salivary gland is a chief complaint of patients presenting. Most salivary gland calculi occur in the submandibular gland, but can also occur in the parotid gland and the sublingual gland. One giant sialolith is rarely reported, while the several cases of one or multiple sialolith in the submandibular gland have reported in the literatures. In this case, we have removed the sialolith in which perforated mouth floor along Wharton's duct and report it.

The author have had a case of salivary stone in the anterior half of Wharton's duct in the left side. 1)The patient was 32-year=old Korean male .2)There was a history of severe pain at mealtime, pus discharging and marked swelling of the left submandibular region.3) The patient was sebmandibular region. 3)The paient was sedated with 100mg .of Seconal and anesthetized with 2% Xylocaine Hydrochloride. The surgical procedure was performed in the usual manner. 4)THhe stone was ellowish-white, single wheat-shaped and 9mm. by 3mm. in size.

The Sialolithiasis is one of the most common disease that is found in the submandibular gland and they can be usually observed in the extra glandular area. As the lumen of Wharton's duct is larger and more expandable than that of Stensen's duct, the symptom of them is initially painless. As increasing their size, the sign and symptom are pain and sudden enlargement of gland. It can be observed with clinical exam and the scintigraphy. After removal of sialoliths, the majority of them can get the recovery of function. Our department performed the transoral sialolithotomy and the extraoral sialoadenectomy for three patients of sialolithiasis and all of them showed no complication after operation.

The sialolithiasis is one of the most common disease that is found in the submandibular gland and they can be usually observed in the extra glandular area. As the lumen of Wharton's duct is larger and more expandable than that of Stensen's duct, the symptom of them is initially painless. Obstruction of salivary secretion by a sialolith can result in sudden swelling and pain, as well as infection of the gland. It can be observed with clinical exam and the scintigraphy. After removal of sialoliths, the majority of them can get the recovery of function. Our department performed the transoral sialolithotomy. One of three cases was recurred sialolithiasis with sialadenitis and was performed by the re-sialolithotomy and extraoral sialoadenectomy.

This is a report of two rare cases, that authors have experienced, one being four sialoliths within a wharton's duct, which is a relatively frequent site of sialolith, and the other a multiple occurrance of 16 sialoliths at the orifice of stensen's duct, which has very low frequency of sialolith occurance. Both pathosis were removed using transoral sialolithotomy.
