Abstract
Necrotizing sialometaplasia of the parotid gland is infrequent and can be mistaken as a malignant disease. Its etiology is thought to be an insufficient blood supply. Bilateral involvement of this disease in parotid glands has been rarely reported in the English literature. We report a case of necrotizing sialometaplasia diagnosed after superficial parotidectomy due to bilateral parotid masses in a 69-year old heavy smoking female.
