Can a stone that in the parotid gland become a cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A stone in the parotid gland can obstruct salivary flow from the particular duct that is obstructed, then saliva can back up behind the stone creating a swollen dilated portion of the gland which resembles a cyst, called a sialocele.
