Abstract

A case of basal cell adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland is reported. Histologically it is to be distinguished from basal cell adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. Clinically the presentation may appear benign. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The prognosis is uncertain because of lack of follow-up data.
