Abstract:
An example of palatal necrotizing sialometaplasia is presented, and the clinical and microscopic features suggestive of squamous-cell carcinoma and mucoepidermal carcinoma are noted. The patient's health status, as shown by a rather thorough work-up, was unremarkable during the period which would seem to preclude a systemic etiology of this disease. The resolution of the lesion with minimal therapy is documented.
