Abstract: Necrotizing sialometaplasia (NS) is a rare, self-limiting disease affecting area containing salivary gland tissue. As necrotizing sialometaplasia may resembles other diseases such as malignant tumors in both clinicopathological manifestations, learning the issue of NS is critical for appropriate diagnosis and treatment, avoiding unnecessary radical surgery. Here we reported a case of necrotizing sialometaplasia presented as a massive ulcer on the palate, aiming to provide reference for clinical management of the disease.

Key words: necrotizing sialometaplasia, oral ulcer, differential diagnosis
