Pathological calcification of the salivary glands. Presentation of two clinical cases

Abstract:

Extra bone calcification is a pathological entity of deposit of mineral salts outside bone structures. Frequent cases are due to mechanical obstruction of the salivary gland or its excretory duct, associated with the formation of sialoliths in the parenchyma, its true cause is unknown, but there are different hypotheses regarding the influence local and systemic factors. Sialolithiasis is the most common condition of the salivary glands in young adults, 12 out of 1,000 patients suffer from this pathology, with a predominance of males. Diagnosis can be established by ultrasound, occlusal radiographs, panoramic or cone beam tomography. We studied two cases of calcification of glandular tissues. The first is a mineral formation inside the duct and the second is a complete calcification of the salivary duct.
