Two cases of sialolithiasis are presented here. One patient presented with an acute inflammatory condition of left submandibular gland with secondary infection and facial cellulitis. CT Scan confirmed as cellulitis with secondary infection from ductal stone at mid left floor of the mouth. Another patient presented with repeated low-grade pain and swelling at left submandibular gland area with difficulty in swallowing that was confirmed by Sialogram. In order to allow the gland to operate normally, the duct was kept intact in the first case where ductal calculus was removed from floor of the mouth only. Sialoadenectomy and ductal calculi excision were performed in the second case due to the chronic infection of the non-functioning left submandibular gland.
