Abstract
Necrotizing sialometaplasia (NS) is a rare benign reactive necrotizing inammatory process that affects the minor
salivary gland and frequently mimics cancer on both a clinical and histopathological level. Case Study : We report the case
of a 21-year-old healthy man who had throat pain and non-healing ulcer over soft palate for the past one month, with pain during
swallowing.Histopathological analysis and an incisional biopsy were performed on the patient. Necrotizing sialometaplasia was the
histologically determined diagnosis. Necrotizing sialometaplasia is a self-limiting disorder of salivary glands mostly affecting the hard palate.The
duration of the healing process is usually related to the size of the lesion.The recurrence rate of Necrotizing Sialometaplasia is low.Even a full
thickness palatal lesion heals completely within 6 months.
