Swelling of neck always have a wide range of differential diagnosis. Salivary glands are group of organs that secretes saliva which helps in normal functioning of the oral cavity. Many conditions affect the salivary gland because of its size and location. Sialadenitis is the inflammatory condition of the salivary gland which is commonly encountered yet infrequently discussed topic. Sialoliths are calcified organic matter that forms with in the secretory system of the major and minor salivary glands. Sialolithiasis is one of the major causes for sialadenitis which has been shown in many studies.
