“…[1,2,5,6] True invasion must be distinguished from both multinodularity with a pushing type of growth pattern and a multifocal origin in adjacent salivary lobules, both of which are features of basal cell adenoma. [9] Histological picture of our case showed a presence of a cytological atypia and infiltrative growth pattern although there was no evident vascular or perineural invasion.…”

“…[8] The involvement of the minor salivary glands is very rare, and only few cases have been reported involving the palate, buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, and the submandibular gland. [9] BCACs typically arise in adults above 60 years and have no gender predilection. [5,10] However, according to Nagao et al, there is an age range of 42-81 years (mean 59.2 years).…”

Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare tumour of the salivary glands which has recently been included in the World Health Organization classification. It is thought to be malignant counterpart of basal cell adenoma (BCA) from which it can only be distinguished on the basis of its infiltrative growth pattern and lymphovascular and perineural invasion. Other important tumours like adenoid cystic carcinoma etc also need to be kept in the differential diagnosis. Owing to its rarity, its resemblance to the benign BCA and the fact that it has to be differentiated from more aggressive tumours, it is important to identify and diagnose BCAC. We thus present a case of BCAC in parotid with a review of literature and a discussion of the important differential diagnoses.

“…In major salivary glands, removal of the whole gland is recommended, and follow-up radiotherapy after wide excision has been proposed for lesions with perineural or perivascular invasion [7,8]. In this case, even though there was no suspicious metastatic lymph node and the histological grades were low and intermediate, adjuvant radiotherapy was administered to the patient because the tumor cells were positive on the resection margin that was attached to the parapharyngeal fat tissue, and perineural invasion in the deep lobe tumor was reported.…”

Synchronous parotid neoplasms, especially synchronous neoplasms of two separate and histologically different types, are extremely uncommon. A review of the literature revealed that most reported cases were either a combination of two distinct benign neoplasms or a benign neoplasm and another malignant tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no report of synchronous unilateral double primary carcinomas of the parotid gland. Here we report a 39-year-old woman who exhibited basal cell adenocarcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma simultaneously in the left parotid gland.

Basal cell adenocarcinoma is an epithelial neoplasm with the cytological characteristics of basal cell adenoma but with a morphological pattern of infiltrative growth indicative of malignancy. Due to its low incidence it is often difficult to diagnose a basal cell adenocarcinoma. The objective of the present study was to identify morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics that contribute to its diagnosis. A parotid tumor was resected in a 52-year-old patient; postoperative biopsy and immunostaining with Ki-67, CK19, p63 and alpha-smooth muscle actin were performed. It was diagnosed basal cell adenocarcinoma that invades the tumor capsule, periglandular fat and lymph nodes. Immunostaining with Ki-67, CK19, p63 and alpha-smooth muscle actin was positive. Subsequently, a maxillary sinus metastasis was diagnosed. The morphological characteristics, Ki-67 expression strongly positive and metastasis give the malignant character to this tumor, which differentiates it from the basal cell adenoma.
