Necrotising sialometaplasia – a rare case report in paediartic patient

Necrotising sialometaplasia is an uncommon benign, self-limiting inflammatory disease of the minor salivary glands. It always gives a diagnostic dilemma to the clinician because of its close resemblance to malignancy both clinically and histopathologically. It has wide range of age of occurrence, but mostly occurs at middle age group. Here we report a case of necrotising sialometaplasia which is very rare to occur at paediatric patients.
