Necrotizing Sialometaplasia Accompanied by Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma on the Soft Palate

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia (NS) is a benign, self-limiting inflammatory disease of the mucus-secreting glands, and this
illness mainly involves the minor salivary glands. The significance of NS resides in its clinical and histopathological resemblance
to malignancy. We present here a case of necrotizing sialometaplasia on the soft palate, and this was accompanied
by adenoid cystic carcinoma. We report here on this case to draw attention to the difficulty for deciding the extent of resecting
a malignancy, and especially when the malignancy is simultaneously accompanied by necrotizing sialometaplasia.
