The aim of the study: was to revive the past classifications of chronic inflam-matory diseases of the major salivary glands and present the current one with implications for diagnostic and treatment schedule. Material and method: 20 patients with parotid and 44 with submandibular gland sialadenitis were treated in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Department Poznan Medical University in the years 2007-2010.

Results: 25 out of 50 patients with parotid and 73 out of 95 with subman-dibular sialadenitis suffered from lithiasis. Surgical evacuation of the stone was performed in 10 cases in 2007-08, and in 4 between 2009 and 10. In this last period 94 sialoendoskopies was performed, in this number in case 38 submandibular and 7 parotid lithiasis. Stensens duct stenosis was diagnosed in 7 and Wharton duct in 12 patients.
