Basal cell adenoma (BCA) of the salivary gland is a rare neoplasm consists of a monomorphic population of basaloid epithelial cells, and it accounts for approximately 1-2 % of all salivary gland tumors. Its most frequent location is the parotid gland. It usually appears as a firm and mobile slow-growing mass. Histologically, isomorphic cells in nests and interlaced trabecules with a prominent basal membrane are observed. In contrast to pleomorphic adenoma, it tends to be multiple and its recurrence rate after surgical excision is high. Due to prognostic implications, differential diagnosis with basal cell adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and basaloid squamous cell carcinoma is mandatory. We report a case of BCA of the parotid gland. We also review the literature and discuss the diagnosis and management of this rare entity.
涎腺基底细胞腺瘤(BCA)是一种罕见肿瘤,由单形性的基底样上皮细胞构成,约占所有涎腺肿瘤的1%-2%。其最常见的部位是腮腺。通常表现为质地硬、可活动、生长缓慢的肿块。组织学上,可见巢状和交错小梁状的同形细胞,伴有明显的基底膜。与多形性腺瘤不同,它往往为多发性,手术切除后的复发率较高。鉴于其预后意义,必须与基底细胞腺癌、腺样囊性癌和基底样鳞状细胞癌进行鉴别诊断。我们报告1例腮腺基底细胞腺瘤病例。我们还复习了文献并讨论了这种罕见疾病的诊断和处理。
