INTRODUCTION: Lithiasis is the formation of stones within an organ, which can occur in multiple organs. Several studies have reported the possible concurrent occurrence of uroliths and sialoliths, possibly associated with shared comorbidities. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This systematic review was conducted to review published research and identify the concurrent presence of uroliths and sialoliths. The review will describe diagnostic modalities, management, and prevention and suggest future research and clinical recommendations. DESIGN AND METHODS: The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using the Medical Subject Headings (Mesh terms), related to the primary disease processes relevant to the review. RESULTS: The database search yielded 1229 research papers. The articles were screened for duplicates, and unrelated studies were removed. The remaining four articles were reviewed by independent researchers and included in this review. Two of the four studies included in the review were case-control studies, and two were retrospective studies. CONCLUSIONS: We found no evidence of a link between sialoliths and uroliths. However, the published literature's inconsistency posed a limitation.
