Sialadenolithiasis refers to the formation of salivary gland stones, also known as salivary calculi or salivary stones. These stones are typically composed of calcium salts and other minerals that accumulate within the ducts of the salivary glands, obstructing the flow of saliva. This condition can lead to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and infection in the affected gland. Treatment may involve gland massage, hydration, or in severe cases, surgical removal of the stone.
