Sialolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the salivary glands and is characterized by the obstruction of salivary gland or its duct due to the formation of calcareous plaque. The term of giantsialolith is used for the stones over 15 millimeters or 1 gram. It is rarely reported in the literature. We reported a case of a sialolith measured between 25 to 30 mm and located in the submandibulergland orifice. We excised the sialolith via intraoral approach. Normal saliva flow must be performed during treatment. Minimal invasive surgery is recommended.
