Abstract Basal cell adenocarcinoma is an unusual basaloid tumour that usually affects the parotid and very rarely involves the submandibular or minor salivary glands. It constitutes 1.6% of all salivary gland tumours and occurs as an asymptomatic freely mobile mass with occasional lymph node metastasis. Differentiation from benign salivary gland tumours like basal cell adenoma is accomplished by determining the depth of tumour invasion and patterns of growth or infiltration. Although it is categorised as a low-grade malignancy, it has a high propensity for recurrence. Surgical excision with a wide margin is the preferred course of treatment with radiotherapy being reserved only for tumours of the minor salivary glands with a diffuse pattern of infiltration. We present here a case of basal cell adenocarcinoma with a rare presentation in the minor salivary glands of the tongue which arose from a previously treated basal cell adenoma in the same site.

Salivary Gland Malignancy

We report a rare case of bilateral basal cell adenocarcinoma (BcAC) of the parotid gland in a male patient 30 years after kidney transplantation and continuous administration of immunosuppressive therapy. BcAC is a salivary gland malignancy first recognized as a distinct neoplastic entity in WHO classification of salivary gland tumours in 1991. Over 90% of BcACs are detected in the parotid gland. The most important differential diagnosis is basal cell adenoma. Infiltrative growth is the distinguishing feature of BcAC. Administration of immunosuppressive medication to this patient for three decades may have contributed to development of this rare neoplasia. To our knowledge, similar cases of BcAC have not been reported previously.

Abstract The seromucinous glands of the bronchi can give rise to tumors resembling those of the salivary glands. Basal cell adenoma (BCA) has not been reported in salivary gland-type tumors of the lung. Here, we report a case of an 86-year-old Asian man who suffered from pneumonia in the left upper lung field that may be associated with an endobronchial tumor occluding B1 + 2a + b. The bronchoscopic biopsy of the tumor revealed that the basaloid cells, which constituted a major component of the tumor and were positive for p40/p63 immunohistochemistry, exhibited a cord-like structure. The Ki-67 (MKI67) staining was less than 1% positive. These findings suggest that the endobronchial tumor was BCA of the lung, which caused obstructive pneumonia in the patient.

Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma

The term basal cell adenoma was used by Kleinsasser and Klien 1 in 1967 to describe benign salivary gland tumors comprised of a single type of epithelium. Basal cell adenocarcinoma is a relatively new entity, and there are only a few cases reported in the literature. It has a morphology like that of a basal cell adenoma but has growth characteristics of a malignant neoplasm.

Objective: Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is an uncommon benign epithelial neoplasm of salivary glands, which was first described by Kleinsasser and Klein in 1967 and which derives its name from the monomorphic basaloid appearance of tumor cells. This tumor represents 1–2% of all salivary gland epithelial tumors; the most common site of occurrence is the parotid gland. It usually arises in adults over 50 years of age with slight female prevalence. Study Design: We analyzed 5 cases of parotid lesions investigated by fine needle aspiration cytology at a single institution between 2002 and 2018. Results: Our series was composed by 3 women and 2 men with a mean age of 62 years. The most important cytological criteria we observed were cohesive sharp-angled clusters of regular basaloid cells, palisaded by p63-positive myoepi­thelial cells, and bordered by basement membrane-like hyaline membrane in the absence of a myxochondroid stroma. Overall features were consistent with the diagnosis of BCA. Conclusions: Our aim is to highlight the cytological features of these rare lesions improving the awareness of cytological pitfalls of salivary gland basaloid neoplasms. Moreover, the goal of this paper is to add to the literature 5 additional cases of these unusual tumors.
