Abstract
Necrotising sialometaplasia is a benign, self-limiting, inflammatory condition. This rare lesion has a range of clinical presentations but can resemble malignant lesions both clinically and histopathologically resulting in issues with correct diagnosis. We present the case of a 54 year old female patient who was referred from her dentist for a round white patch on her right soft palate that had been increasing in size. This was diagnosed as necrotising sialometaplasia following a biopsy and clinicopathological correlation. The lesion took four months from when first noticed by the patient to fully heal.
