A. P. History: Patient complained of swelling under the tongue which varied in sizeand was usually largest before meal times. Roentgen Examination: Shows a radiopaque object on the right side of the floorof the mouth opposite the first molar.

The duct did notcontain any foreign material, but the sublingual gland contained a salivary calculussurrounded by a small amount of pus. ROENTGEXOGILiPHIC STUDY OF PATHOLOGICAL COXDITIOXS 155.

Operative Findings: The foreign bodies, after being removed, werefound to be small lumps and felt like cartilage. Pathological examinationshowed them to be organized thrombi, which had become calcified. Thesephleboliths showed concentri
