SALIVARY CALCULI

　最近，顎下腺唾石症で10個以上の唾石を認めた症例に遭遇したのでこの機会に過去経験した唾石症例（10症例）をまとめ考察を行なつた。

　Ten cases of salivary calculi are reported with following conclusions:

　1. The largest number of calculi occurred in the submaxillary gland and duct; mostly among the middle-aged male.

　2. The daignosis is based upon the history of repeated attacks, the state of the salivary glands and x-ray findings.

　3. Microscopic findings of the salivary glands removed for calculi formation showed the evidence of having had repeated attacks.
