Necrotizing sialometaplasia of palate- a clinical case
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Necrotizing sialometaplasia is an uncommon, benign, self-limiting inflammatory condition that manifests mostly as an ulcerative lesion on the palate. It is believed that the lesion is a result of vascular ischemia essentially induced by trauma. Until the present, the establishment of the diagnosis of necrotizing sialometaplasia endures to be a challenge. The significance of this disease lies in the fact that both its clinical and histologic characteristics may mimic those of a malignant neoplasm, especially mucoepidermoid carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. A combination of histopathological and clinical findings is usually beneficial in establishing the affirmative diagnosis. In this article we present a review of the literature and a report of a clinical case of necrotizing sialometaplasia of palate in a young man, heavy smoker.
