The sialolithiasis is a change in salivary gland which is characterized by the deposition of calcium salts within the duct of a gland or the parenchyma. The etiological most widely accepted hypothesis is that the sialolitos arise from deposition of calcium salts accumulated around inside the duct, which in turn can result from factors such as infection, trauma, foreign bodies and cell debris organic desquamated epithelial furthermore, more submandibular gland is achieved by its anatomical position and salivary composition. Diagnosis is by clinical examination and imaging and treatment will depend on the size and location of sialólito, ranging from stimulation of saliva to the surgical removal of the gland involved. This study aims to report a case of a patient with two calculations present in the duct and a present in the parenchyma of the submandibular gland calculus. The proposed treatment was surgical excision of ductal intra oral and extra oral calculations of the right submandibular gland along with its sialolito.
