Summary:A case of 57-year-old male complaining of the right cheek swelling and pain was reported. Image diagnosis consiting of X-p, CT scan confirmed a sialolithiasis of the parotid gland locating at the anterior end of the gland. For the extraction of the stone, transcutaneous approach was employed. During the operation, careful dissection of the cutis and gland was required for avoiding facial nerve injuring. Preoperative staining of the Stensen's duct was effective to differentiate the duct from the nerve. After the extraction of the stone a draining tube was set through the duct. Postoperative course was uneventful. This technic is convenient for the surgical treatment of the stone locating in the duct over the masseter muscle.
