Abstract

Necrotizing sialometaplasia of salivary tissues is a vascular-based (lobular infarct), benign, and often self-limited disorder. Preponderantly a lesion of palatal salivary glands, it can involve any salivary gland, and it may be mistaken for carcinoma. Adherence to histopathologic criteria should obviate this mistake.
