Abstract:
Basal cell adenoma is a rare benign epithelial neoplasm of the salivary gland that occurs most frequently in the parotid glands. However, there have been few reports on basal cell adenoma arising from the minor salivary glands in the parapharyngeal space. Here we report a case of basal cell adenoma presenting as a parapharyngeal mass in a 35-year-old woman.
