Basaloid tumors of the salivary gland are among the most diagnostically challenging areas of salivary gland FNA cytopathology. The primary tumors included in this group are basal cell adenoma, basal cell adenocarcinoma, and the solid variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma. In addition, various other salivary gland tumors, such as cellular pleomorphic adenoma, can also exhibit basaloid features and...

Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland is a very rare disease entity as the malignant counterpart of basal cell adenoma. On the basis of morphologic pattern, basal cell adenoma can be divided into four subtypes; trabecular, solid, tubular, and dermal analogue (membranous). We report a case of basal cell adenocarcinoma in the left parotid gland of a 33-year-old woman. Light microscopica...

Basal cell adenoma(BCA) of minor salivary glands is an uncommon type of monomorphic adenoma. Most frequent location is the parotid gland and usually appears as a firm and mobile slow-growing mass which is histologically, char cterized as nests of isomorphic cells and interlaced trabeculae with a prominent basal membrane. There is also slack, hyaline stroma with absence of a myxoid or chondroid ...

Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare malignancy, only accounting for approximately 2% of all salivary neoplasms. Considered the malignant counterpart basal cell adenoma, it most commonly presents at 60 years age without gender predilection. Sites involvement frequently includes parotid gland, but sites in minor glands, nasopharynx, buccal mucosa, and tongue have also been reported. Often ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of benign salivary gland tumors with myoepithelial cell participation, namely, pleomorphic adenoma, basal cell adenoma and myoepithelioma, at a single institution over a period of 10 years. STUDY DESIGN This study was based on 575 cytologic and matching histological samples (534 pl...
