Bilateral Palatal Necrotizing Sialometaplasia in Patient with Prurigo Nodularis: A Case Report
Necrotizing Sialometaplasia (NSM) is a rare, benign, self-limiting, inflammatory disease of mostly minor salivary gland
origin.
NSM can resemble a malignant lesion in its early disease course, both clinically and pathologically. Bilateral involvement
of the hard and soft palate by the lesion is a rare occurrence. NSM was first described as a reactive inflammatory process.
Since then, over 200 cases have been reported and has been added to the WHO classification of salivary gland tumours
under the tumour-like lesions. Here, we report a case of a 30-year-old male with bilateral NSM of both the hard and
soft palate, on a background history of prurigo nodularis. The patient was initially referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial
Department by his general practitioner for a palatal ulcer, concerning for oral malignancy. The ulcer was painless with a
well-demarcated border and necrotic base. Subsequent biopsy and histological examination confirmed necrotizing sialometaplasia with healing occurring within 5 weeks.
An Unusual Lesion on The Palate: A Rare Case Report

Smoking is the most commonly seen deleterious habit among men which directly affects minor salivary glands in the palate. Smoking also causes stomatitis nicotina in the oral cavity.

Ectopia Cordis, Cleft Lip and Palate in a Patient with Gastroschisis - A Clinical Case
Gastroschisis (GQS) and omphalocele are congenital defects of the abdominal wall; The GQS is a defect usually on the right side of the umbilical cord, where there is exposure of the intestinal loops and there is no membrane that covers them; The omphalocele is a defect through the umbilical cord, in which there is a herniation of the intra-abdominal organs, which are covered by a membrane. GQS is generally associated with minor abnormalities of the digestive tract and generally does not have an association with severe congenital abnormalities. The diagnosis can be made prenatally by Ultrasound (USG). The objective is to present a clinical case of gastroschisis associated with severe midline congenital anomalies, such as ectopia cordis, which is not frequent in these patients [1-4].
