Necrotizing sialometaplasia is an infrequent, nonmalignant, self-limited condition involving the accessory salivary glands. Clinical and histologic features of necrotizing sialometaplasia may mistakenly suggest malignant disease. This fact emphasizes the importance of carefully correlating clinical and pathologic findings and of looking for histologic criteria indicative of nonmalignant disease. Three cases are discussed and the relevant literature is reviewed.
