Abstract (English): Sialolithiasis is the most common salivary gland disease. It is characterized by obstruction of the salivary flow rate by calculus in the duct or, in some cases, in the parenchyma. The submandibular gland is the most affected by this disease, about 85% of cases, due to its position, its secretion and size of duct, which is long and contains an anti-gravity path when compared to others. Its etiology is still much discussed in studies and literature, containing many theories around the subject. Treatment will depend on the case, leading to either a conservative or surgical treatment. The object of this study is aimed to make an updated review on the subject and describe a clinical case reporting an atypical case of double sialolithiasis affecting both excretory ducts of the submandibular glands. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that: its etiology is still much discussed in literature; the treatment should be decided by the size, location, quantity and quality of the calculus and the general conditions of the patient.

Abstract (Portuguese): Sialolitíase é a doença mais comumdas glândulas salivares, ela é caracterizada pela obstrução do fluxo salivar por cálculos no interior dos ductos ou, em alguns casos, no parênquima glandular. Aglândula submandibular é amais acometida por essa patologia, cerca de 85% dos casos, devido a sua localização, secreção mucosserosa e por seu ducto possuir um trajeto longo e antigravitacional comparado com os demais. Sua etiologia ainda é muito discutida na literatura, havendo muitas teorias a respeito. O tratamento vai variar de acordo como caso, podendo ser conservador ou cirúrgico. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo fazer uma revisão atualizada sobre o tema e descrever um relato de caso clínico atípico de duplo sialólito acometendo ambos os ductos excretores das glândulas submandibulares.
