RESUMO
Introduction: Basal cell adenocarcinoma is a rare well recognized low grade malignant salivary gland tumor often resembles basal cell adenoma. the infiltrating growth pattern and likelihood of vascular and perineural involvement distinguishes basal cell adenocarcinoma with basal cell adenoma. Case presentation: Here we present histopathological and immune histochemical analysis of two such rare cases of basal cell adenocarcinoma and review of literature is discussed. Conclusion: Basal cell adeno carcinoma is a low grade malignancy and doesn’t metastasize. With only few hundreds of cases that has been reported in literature, basal cell adeno carcinoma should be included as differential diagnosis in salivary gland tumors in order not to miss the diagnosis
