Abstract
- Basal cell adenocarcinoma is 1 ~ 2 % of salivary gland carcinoma. It was recently classified as low grade malignancy. It is low grade malignant counterpart of basal cell adenoma. It has similar morphologic attributes with basal cell adenoma, but it has distinctive malignant potential including infiltrative growth into surrounding tissues and distant metastasis. Recently, we have experienced a case of basal cell adenocarcinoma arising from the bilateral parotid gland in a 38-year old woman who was previously operated on superficial parotidectomy due to pleomorphic adenoma. We report this rare case with a review of literature.
