Case Report

Parotid Duct Sialolithiasis in a Dog

Brian J. Trumpatori, DVM, Kyleigh Geissler, DVM and Kyle G. Mathews, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS

From the Departments of Clinical Sciences (Trumpatori, Mathews) and Population Health and Pathobiology (Geissler), College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, 4700 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27606.

Address all correspondence to Dr. Mathews.

Computed tomography was used to evaluate a 7-year-old English bulldog with a history of facial swelling and to aid in the diagnosis of parotid duct sialolithiasis. Removal of the sialolith with repair of the duct was not possible because of ductal fibrosis. Histological evaluation revealed glandular atrophy and fibrosis with lymphoplasmacytic inflammation. The parotid duct was ulcerated and fibrotic, with a mixed inflammatory infiltrate. Surgical excision of the parotid duct and salivary gland was curative.
