Sialoliths are calcified organic matter that forms within the secretory system of the major salivary glands. Salivary gland calculi account for the most common disease of the salivary glands, and may range from tiny particles to several centimetres in length. It is the most common cause of acute and chronic infections. While the majorities of salivary stones are asymptomatic or cause minimal discomfort, larger stones may interfere with the flow of saliva and cause pain and swelling. We are presenting the case of 52 years old male patient complains of swelling on the right side of the face since 2 months. The majority of sialoliths occur in the submandibular gland or its duct; here we are presenting a case of parotid glands with emphasis on diagnostic aids.
