Abstract:
Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a very rare slow-growing malignant basaloid tumour of the minor
salivary gland. We reported a case of BCAC of the minor salivary gland of the hard palate occurring
in a 56-year-old man. BCAC shares overlapping histopathological features with the other oral basaloid
cell neoplasms which carries different prognosis and treatment modality. We emphasised on the
histomorphologic features and the role of immunohistochemistry panel in the differential diagnosis of
BCAC in incisional biopsies.
