title: Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland: a case report.
abstract: Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCA) is an uncommon salivary gland neoplasm. The majority of salivary gland tumors are located in the parotid gland, while only a few involves the minor salivary gland of the oral cavity. Pathological diagnosis is important to differentiate BCA from other neoplasms, as the prognosis of the diseases is significantly different. In this article, we present a 41-year-old-male with BCA involving the upper labial mucosa.
