An eight-year-old female Maltese dog were presented with an upper cervical cyst that had been present for one month. Mucous fluid like saliva was aspirated from the cyst, and a lateral radiograph revealed a calculus within the cyst. The cyst was therefore diagnosed as sialocele with sialolithiasis, and the cyst with a stone was resected surgically. The calculus was milky white and measured 8 x 5 x 6 mm. Its major components were calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. No recurrende has been observed for six months after surgery.
