Abstract:
Sialectasis of Stensen's duct is a rare disease that is characterized by abnormal dilatation of the duct. The underlying pathology in this condition is obscure, but ductal dilation most commonly occurs as a consequence of ductal stenosis or narrowing. In this report, a rare case of sialectasis of Stensen's duct confirmed by radiologic study is presented with a review of the literature.
