Abstract

Basal cell adenocarcinoma is a rare salivary gland tumour. A DNA diploid parotid gland basal cell adenocarcinoma, with a low mitotic rate, in a 78-year-old female patient is described. Total removal of the affected salivary gland without sacrificing the facial nerve gave a good therapeutic result.
