Abstract
Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is an uncommon, benign salivary tumor comprising 1-3% of salivary tumors. These tumors occur more commonly in women and patients older than 50 years of age. Patients typically present with a slow growing, well circumscribed mass. Overall BCA has a good prognosis with low rates of recurrence and malignant transformation. However, BCA membranous subtype undergoes malignant transformation at increased rates compared with the solid, tubular and trabecular forms. We present a rare case of a basal cell adenoma in a 57 year old male as well as a literature review.
