Abstract :

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia is rare and in the oral cavity it accounts <1% of all biopsied lesion. For decades Necrotizing Sialometaplasia were treated by conservative management as it is a self healing lesion. The progressive healing period was reported from 2 weeks to 3 months in the literature. Is necrotizing sialometaplasia a self-limiting disease? Here we report a case of non-healing necrotizing sialometaplasia which was treated by surgical management. Complete regression of the lesion was evident after the surgical management and no recurrence until two years of follow-up.
