Basal cell adenoma of the parotid gland: A rare entity.

Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is a rare benign salivary gland tumor accounting for only 1–2% of all salivary gland tumors. We report a case of a 50-year-old man presenting a BCA of the parotid gland. A pleomorphic adenoma was initially suspected based on radiological features and fine needle aspiration cytology findings (FNAC). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
