Fig. 2

Representative microscopic features of necrotizing sialometaplasia in case 1. Extensive necrosis (a, × 40) with intact lobular architecture and squamous metaplasia (b, × 100). Metaplastic squamous cells without dysplasia are found in the inflammatory background (c, × 200). However, haphazardly arranged squamous cells and mucous glands causes confusion with mucoepidermoid carcinoma (d, × 100). (Hematoxylin Eosin)
