Cancerous Caricature, Fester,Transformation: Necrotizing Sialometaplasia by Anubha Bajaji in Innovations in Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine
Necrotizing sialometaplasia, delineated initially in 1973 by
Abrams et al. [1] is an infrequent, self limiting, variably ulcerated,
benign, reactive, necrotising inflammatory mechanism prevailing
upon minor salivary glands of the hard palate. Necrotising sialometaplasia
exemplifies < 1% of the biopsied oral lesions [2]. The
lesion is significant enough that it may be misconstrued for a malignancy
and compel an extensive and irrelevant surgery. The phenomenon
is categorized as a subsidiary “tumour -like” in the WHO
classification of the salivary glands tumours.
