Abstract
We present 3 cases of basal cell adenoma of the parotid treated at our Department. All patients complained of a retromandibular lump with clinical traits of benign parotid tumors. Diagnostic workup in all cases included tomography scans and fine needle aspiration biopsy. The former depicted parotid tumors with benign characteristics. Basal cell adenoma (BCA) was the cytology report in one of the patients, later confirmed histopathologically, whereas for the other two patients, FNA yielded an inconclusive report. Management included superficial parotidectomy for two cases and subtotal parotidectomy for the remaining one. All patients had an uneventful recovery. BCA is a rare benign tumor of the salivary glands. It is treated with surgical excision, similarly to more common benign tumors. A subtype of BCA, the membranous BCA, is characterized by higher recurrence rate, malignant transformation and simultaneous or later occurrence in other salivary or dermal glands. It is there- fore recommended, for patients with the membranous subtype of BCA, to be long term followed up by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, as well as a dermatologist.
