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.
