Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Sialolithiasis is a pathological process that affects the major salivary glands. It consists of calcifications that obstruct the parenchyma of the gland and / or the lumen of the ducts. The 37 years old female patient, VBB, leucoderma, attended the stomatology service with a complaint of swelling in the floor of mouth, which she noticed 10 years ago. The clinical and radiographic exams indicated a diagnosis of multiple sialolithiasis in the left submandibular gland duct. Surgical intervention was indicated in this case. Amongst all sialolithiasis cases, 80% affect the submandibular glands. Of these, 70% are isolated sialoliths. Only 5% of cases present more than 3 calcifications. This study aims to report the diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of multiple sialoliths located in the duct of the submandibular gland, which were surgically removed via intraoral access. RESUMO Sialolitíase é um processo patológico que acomete as glândulas salivares maiores e consiste em calcificações que obstruem o parênquima da glândula e/ou a luz dos ductos. A paciente VBB do sexo feminino, leucoderma, 37 anos, compareceu ao serviço de estomatologia com a queixa de aumento de volume do assoalho bucal esquerdo iniciado a 10 anos. Com os exames clínicos e radiográficos fechou-se o diagnóstico de uma condição rara de sialolitíase múltipla no ducto da glândula submandibular esquerda com indicação de tratamento cirúrgico. 80% dos casos de sialolitíase acometem as glândulas submandibulares e 70% são cálculos únicos. Apenas 5% dos casos apresentam mais de 3 calcificações. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso raro de sialolito múltiplo localizado no ducto da glândula submandibular e tratado através de remoção cirúrgica com acesso intraoral.
