Basal cell adenoma

Basal cell adenoma is a rare, low-grade benign salivary gland neoplasm.^[1]

The most common involved site is the parotid gland, however other possible sites include the submandibular gland,^[2] minor salivary glands of upper lip, buccal mucosa, palate and nasal septum.^[1]

It appears as a slow-growing, firm and mobile mass.^[1]

Treatment is by surgical excision with a margin of healthy tissue.^[2] Although the recurrence rate is high, the prognosis is generally good.^[1]
