Abstract
We report a case of basal cell adenoma of the parotid gland, which is a comparatively rare salivary gland tumor. A 68-year-old woman visited our department complaining of swelling in the right parotid region. The tumor was excised under the diagnosis of a parotid gland tumor. The tumor was located in the superficial lobe of the parotid gland and was surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Histopathologically, the tumor was mainly composed of isomorphic basaloid cells forming solid irregular trabecular structures with occasional ductal or cystic formations. Generally, the stroma was poor and contained no chondroid or mucoid components similar to pleomorphic adenomas.
