La sialolitiasis es un trastorno poco frecuente en pacientes pediátricos que suele afectar a las glándulas salivales submandibulares. Su rareza hace que a menudo su expresión clínica pase desapercibida y se retrase el diagnóstico. Se presenta el caso de un niño de 9 años con una sialolitiasis submandibular que consigue la salida espontánea de un cálculo de grandes dimensiones mediante manipulación externa. Se revisan los hallazgos clínicos, la etiopatogenia, las técnicas de diagnóstico por la imagen y las diversas técnicas terapéuticas de extracción de cálculos en la sialolitiasis

Sialolithiasis rarely occurs in children and usually affects the submandibular salivary gland. Because of its rarity, its clinical expression is frequently missed and diagnosis is delayed. We describe the case of a 9-year-old boy with submandibular sialolithiasis who presented spontaneous passage of a large salivary stone. We review the clinical findings and etiopathogenesis of sialolithiasis in children, as well as diagnostic imaging techniques and several therapeutic approaches to stone extraction
