title: [Necrotizing sialometaplasia. A rare diagnostic pitfall].
abstract: Concerning an observation of necrotizing sialometaplasia the authors make a literary survey, paying particular attention to the clinical and anatomopathological descriptions of the lesion. They insist on its deceptive aspect which led in some cases to important quite useless exeresis, since the lesion heals spontaneously. At last the different etiopathogenical hypothesis are reported.
