Abstract

This paper discusses a case of idiopathic sialectasis of the Stensen's duct in a 51-year-old male patient diagnosed and managed successfully. Idiopathic sialectasis is a rare presentation. Diagnosis of this entity is by clinical, radiological, and ultrasonological correlation. The literature on this entity is scarce, so this paper intends to provide a literature review and analysis into the epidemiology and management aspects.
