Abstract

Necrotizing sialadenitis, first described by Werning and colleagues in 1990, is an inflammatory, self-healing lesion of a minor salivary gland.<BR>A 17-year-old female was referred to our hospital complaining of a painful bilateral ulcer of the hard palate. A histological examination revealed necrotizing sialadenitis. She had been dieting for 6 months before this lesion occurred. Her weight was 37kg, and she was suspected of having anorexia nervosa. It was thought that anorexia nervosa or a psychogenic cause had played a role in the development of this lesion. The patient had stopped dieting 3 days before visiting our hospital. Her lesion healed almost perfectly without treatment after 1 month.
