Sialolithiasis or salivary duct calculus are the most common salivary gland pathologies affecting major salivary gland particularly the submandibular gland. It can occur in wide age range of patients with male predilection. The usual size is 5-10mm, salivary stones that measures greater than 15mm are considered giant sialolith. Various imaging modality are used in the diagnosis of salivary duct calculus. However, the role of CBCT in the diagnosis of salivary stones has received little research attention. We report a case of sialolith in the submandibular duct measuring 19.5 × 8 mm using CBCT as the first-line imaging modality.
