J Laryngol Otol. 1988 Nov;102(11):1052-3. doi: 10.1017/s0022215100107248.

Abstract

Inflammatory salivary disease in childhood is an infrequent clinical entity. That associated with sialolithiasis is rare. We report a case of a child with spontaneous passage of a submandibular calculus. We believe she represents the youngest patient documented to demonstrate the phenomenon.
