Basal Cell Adenoma of Submandibular Salivary Gland: A Case Report and Literature Review (original) (raw)
2014, Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery
Background Salivary gland tumours constitute about 3-4 % of all head and neck neoplasms. Approximately 80 % originate in the parotid gland and they are rarely present in the submandibular gland. Basal cell adenoma is a benign epithelial salivary gland tumour that appears to have unique histologic characteristics. The diagnosis of this entity must be established by histological study. Case report The literature revealed only four reported cases of basal cell adenoma of submandibular salivary gland. This article presents a rarely occurring basal cell adenoma as a fifth reported case in submandibular salivary gland in a 23 year old female. Discussion A rare case of basal cell adenoma of submandibular salivary gland is reported with clinical features, diagnosis, histopathological features and treatment modalities. When there is involvement of submandibular gland with a tumour the histopathological confirmation is mandatory instead of relying on FNAC and it must be differentiated from pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma due to its prognostic implications.

Basal cell adenocarcinoma of submandibular salivary gland-problems in cytologic diagnosis
Journal of Cytology, 2011
Basal-cell adenoma and basal-cell adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland are rare tumors. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of these tumors, particularly those of basal-cell adenocarcinoma, has rarely been described in the literature. In this report, we describe the clinical, cytomorphologic and histopathologic features of basal cell adenocarcinoma in a 48-year-old male patient. Fine-needle aspiration specimen showed abundant cohesive groups of basaloid cells revealing focal anisonucleosis and nuclear atypia. The tumor cells also showed rosette-like arrangement around central eosinophilic globule. Pertinent literature is reviewed and differential diagnosis are discussed.

Basal cell adenocarcinomas (BCAC) of the major salivary glands are rare tumors. We experienced a case of BCACs that were recognized simultaneously in the submandibular and parotid glands. The case like this has not been reported previously. We present the case and discuss clinicopathologically the relation between the both tumors. Macroscopically, there was no direct infiltration between the both tumors. Microscopically, neural and perineural invasion were not found in both tumors. Distant hematogenous metastasis to other organs was not found. The fact that the parotid tumor had strong necrotic change and had no nodal structure suggests that the metastatic node had been rapidly enlarged beyond the size of the normal lymph node. It is reasonable to suppose that the submandibular tumor is a primary lesion and the parotid tumor is a metastatic lymph node.
Basal Cell Adenoma of Salivary Gland; Cytologic Features and Differential Diagnosis
2009
Herein, a case of Basal Cell Adenoma of the parotid gland is presented, especially with cytologic features and cytologic differential diagnosis was discussed. Basal Cell Adenoma is a rare neoplasm which is one of the basaloid neoplasms of salivary gland cytologically. Basaloid neoplasms are the most difficult problem in salivary gland Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. There are various benign and malignant tumors such as; cellular pleomorphic adenoma, basal cell adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, metastatic basal cell carcinoma, metastatic basaloid squamous carcinoma and small cell carcinoma in differential diagnosis. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in salivary gland lesions can provide a diagnosis that eliminates the need for surgery in non-neoplastic lesions and guides treatment decision.
Basal cell adenocarcinoma in minor salivary glands
Histopathology, 2003
Basal cell adenocarcinoma in minor salivary glands Basal cell adenocarcinoma is a rare and relatively recently characterized malignant salivary gland tumour, the malignant counterpart of basal cell adenoma. Diagnosis depends on finding features similar to adenoma but with an infiltrative growth pattern and exclusion of adenoid cystic carcinoma, sialoblastoma and basaloid squamous carcinoma. Basal cell adenocarcinoma is very rarely reported in minor salivary glands. We report three cases of basal cell adenocarcinoma affecting the labial, buccal and palatal minor salivary glands. One recurred following complete removal but with lesional disruption and further local wide excision appeared curative. A further lesion failed to recur in 5 years' follow-up despite marginal excision and a third after 3 years' follow-up. Basal cell adenocarcinoma is considered a low-grade malignancy, and in the minor glands wide excision and radiotherapy are recommended. However, the reported lesions appear to have a more indolent behaviour than previously reported lesions in minor glands.

Basal cell adenoma is a rare benign epithelial tumor of the salivary gland that derives its name from the basaloid appearance of the tumor cells, accounting for 1-2% of all salivary gland epithelial tumors. We report a case of elderly female with a gradually progressive swelling in the pre auricular region for 1year. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the lesion was inconclusive but its classical histopathological features made a confirmed diagnosis of basal cell adenoma.
An Unusual Presentation of Basal Cell Adenoma of Ectopic Salivary Gland Tissue: A Case Report

Salivary gland tumors constitute about 2% to 6.5% of all head and neck region tumors. Basal cell adenoma (BCA) of the salivary glands is an uncommon benign epithelial tumour. It is considered as a low-grade malignant tumour with a high recurrence rate and, in general, good prognosis. BCA represents 54% of monomorphous adenomas and 1-3% of major salivary glands tumours. Most of these tumors are located on the parotid region (80%). In this case report, we are highlighting an unusual location of this not so commonly encountered tumour and its related diagnostic confusion.

Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare neoplasm accounting for only 2.9% of all salivary gland neoplasms. BCAC involving palatal minor salivary glands are exceedingly rare, and only 10 cases have been reported in the literature. The treatment of choice is surgical excision. Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old male patient with massive BCAC of palatal minor salivary gland extending into the maxillary sinus. This is the first case of BCAC treated by radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy. A follow-up check conducted after 14-months showed good prognosis.

Evaluate the antigen profile of cellular population from basal cell adenomas. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation of four-salivary gland basal cell adenomas; the pathological samples were provided by the Oral Maxilla Facial Surgery Department of the Clinical County Hospital from Craiova. All basal cell adenoma exhibit differentiation toward 3 cell phenotypes: ductal luminal, basal and myoepithelial. The antigen profile of these tumors closely regard with other variants of salivary gland adenomas, such as pleomorphic adenoma and myoepithelioma. So, we can conclude that these tumors had a common origin, most probably from intercalated ducts and the proportion of those 3 cellular types, their cytoarchitectural arrangements and the quantity of extracellular matrix production can do the differentiation between them.
