Necrotizing sialometaplasia is a benign, self-limiting and reactive inflammatory disorder of salivary tissue, which mimics malignancy both clinically and histopathologically. The etiology is unknown, although it likely represents a local ischemic event, infectious process or perhaps an immune response to an unknown allergen.
