[Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland: a clinicopathologic study of 14 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To study clinicopathologic features and behaviour of the basal cell adenocarcinoma of salivary gland tumor and prognosis of the patients,


METHODS
14 cases with basal cell adenocarcinoma were studied clinicopathologically.


RESULTS
The clinical features were as follows: females more than males; most frequently in the minor salivary glands; 21.4% of cervical lymph node metastasis and 14.3% of distant metastasis; and rather poor prognosis. The histopathologic appearances were similar to those of basal cell adenoma, but with more mitotic figures and infiltrating growth.


CONCLUSIONS
This tumor was of moderate grade malignancy. It must be treated radically. The elective neck dissection could be considered for the patients with extensive tumors.
