Ultrasound-guided retrieval of labial minor salivary gland sialoliths

Department of Oral Radiology, St. Bartholomew's and the Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry, London, UK.

We report a case of minor salivary gland sialolithiasis presenting as acute, painful swelling of the upper lip. Conventional, unguided, incision and drainage removed three of the sialoliths. Diagnostic ultrasound identified two further sialoliths which were successfully removed with real-time, ultrasound-guided, needle localization. This technique of sialolith retrieval has not been previously reported.
