Histopathological photomicrographs of our case of the sialolithiasis of the lower lip. (A, B, and C) Low-, medium-, and high-power photomicrographs showing an oval sialolith composed of eosinophilic and basophilic bands in a minor salivary gland excretory duct lined by a single layer of cuboid epithelial cells with occasional mucin-secreting cells (C) and located in the lamina propria of the lower labial mucosa. (D, E, and F) Low-, medium-, and high-power photomicrographs demonstrating the adjacent mixed minor salivary glands with several dilated excretory ducts lined by a single layer of cuboid epithelial cells as well as the dilated and congested capillaries and a mild lymphoplasma cell infiltrate in the perivascular and periductal interstitial connective tissues of the mixed minor salivary glands. (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification; A and D, 4 × ; B and E, 10 × ; C, 40 × , and F, 20 × ).
