This report describes a case of necrotizing sialometaplasia (NS) accompanied by significant dental erosion of the maxillary teeth of the palatal surfaces owing to chronic self-induced vomiting. This observation contributed to the determination of an immediate and appropriate provisional diagnosis of NS in a patient with an eating disorder, which subsequently was confirmed histopathologically as NS. The diagnostic challenges presented by NS associated with eating disorders and its management are discussed.
本报告描述了一例坏死性涎腺化生（NS）病例，该病例伴有由于慢性自我诱导呕吐导致的上颌腭面牙齿严重侵蚀。这一观察结果有助于对一名饮食失调患者立即做出NS的适当临时诊断，随后经组织病理学证实为NS。文中讨论了与饮食失调相关的NS所带来的诊断挑战及其管理方法。
