چکیده
of the salivary gland, accounting for 2% of all primary salivary gland tumors. Histologically, it consists of monomorphic basaloid epithelial cells without a myxochondroid stromal component, which distinguishes it from the pleomorphic adenoma (1, 2). It occurs most frequently in the parotid gland, uncommonly in the oral cavity, upper and lower lip, hard palate, and submandibular gland (3). There have been few reports of basal cell adenoma occurring in the parapharyngeal space (3-5). Here we report a case of basal cell adenoma presenting as a parapharyngeal mass that was incidentally detected.
