Retrograde theory in sialolithiasis formation

F Marchal et al. Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2001 Jan.

Abstract

Sialolithiasis is a relatively frequent occurrence; however, cases of sialolithiasis originating around a "foreign body" nidus are rare. We describe a patient with submandibular sialolithiasis organized around a vegetal nidus and discuss the etiology of the case.
