Basal Cell Adenoma of the Submandibular Gland
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Basal cell adenoma is a benign tumor that appears to have unique histological characteristics and occurs only rarely in the submandibular and sublingual glands. Basal cell adenomas are slowly growing, firm, and asymptomatic masses that are frequently diagnosed during the fifth and sixth decades of life. Aspiration biopsy is important for a correct diagnosis. Submandibular gland excision should be performed for treatment. Although rare, basal cell adenoma should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis of submandibular gland masses. We herein report a case involving a 39-year-old female with a basal cell adenoma of the submandibular gland.
