Abstract:
Necrotizing sialometaplasia is a rare, benign, variably ulcerated, self-limiting disease of minor salivary glands. It may be frequently confused both clinically and histologically with squamous cell carcinoma or a minor salivary gland neoplasm. We present a case of necrotizing sialometaplasia on the inner surface of the lower lip developed in a 16-year-old man. To our knowledge, this is the first case repoit of necrotizing sialometaplasia in the Korean literature.
