Abstract : Sialadenitis, an inflammation of major salivary glands is commonly associated with the obstruction of the salivary duct due to sialolith. The submandibular gland is particularly susceptible to sialolithiasis. This case report discusses a 33 year old female patient who reported with a swelling below the tongue/floor of the mouth associated with pain for a week A comprehensive investigation has indicated the presence of multiple sialoliths. The treatment involved surgical removal of the sialoliths, accompanied by antibiotic therapy. Therefore, this case report emphasizes the presence of multiple sialoliths in a female patient.

Keywords : Sialolith, Salivary Duct Stones, Obstructive Sialadenitis.
