This report presents two cases of minor salivary gland sialolithiasis, which were found in 81 and 66-year-old males.<BR>In Japan, these are considered to be rare cases, in which only 27 (including ours) were reported. The sex distribution was 20: 7 for males with mean age of 56. 2 years (range 22-81). The upper lip was the most frequent site of involvement, followed by buccal mucosa. The histological figure of the 3 calculi of our cases were found to be homogeneous, partially lamellated, and lamellated patterns in the structure.<BR>Reviewing the English literatures revealed a huge number of reports, in which at least 50 cases had been reported in one hospital alone as an example.<BR>The clinical findings and the structure in the reported cases seemed similar in both Japan and the other countries.<BR>In the English literature minor salivary gland sialolithiasis is reported frequently, so it is not considered as a rare case any more. This might become the case of Japan, in which such cases would be seen frequently in the future.
