A Case Report of Basal Cell Adenoma of Parotid Gland and Literature Review

Basal cell adenoma (BCA) of the salivary gland is a rare neoplasm consists of a monomorphic population of basaloid epithelial cells with occasional inner ductal epithelial cells, arranged in four different cellular growth patterns, described as solid, trabecular, tubular (tubulo-trabecular) and membranous. BCA accounts for 1-2% of all salivary gland tumours. It is predominantly a tumour of major salivary glands with approximately 75-80% of cases found in the parotid glands and at least 5% in the submandibular glands. The patient has no complaints post operatively and maintained routine follow-ups. The Diagnosis is confirmed by post-operative histopathology report. We report a case of BCA of the parotid gland of 25 year old male.
