The parotid gland stone matrix constitutes 20.2% of the stone dry weight and contains 8.5% of lipids. Of the total lipids, 74% are represented by neutral lipids, 17% by glycolipids, and 9% by phospholipids. The neutral lipids exhibit a high content of free fatty acids (52.7%) and cholesteryl esters (31.1%). The glycolipids are composed of simple glycosphingolipids (7.1%), and of neutral and sulfated glyceroglucolipids (92.9%). Phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol are the principal constituents of the phospholipid fraction.
