A Rare Case of Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma of Parotid Gland with Intracranial Extension

Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery volume 71, pages 93–95 (2019)Cite this article

Abstract

Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare tumour entity. Despite its tendency to be infiltrative and destructive tumour with propensity to recur, it rarely metastasizes and long-term outcome following surgery is favourable. This paper presents a 42-year-old male with residual BCAC of parotid gland that had extended into infratemporal fossa and intracranial. The important aspect of this case is the rarity occurrence of BCAC of parotid with intracranial extension and its surgical approaches to achieve tumour clearance.
