Summary
The basal cell adenoma is one of the more commonly occurring types of salivary tumors in the upper lip. A case with multiple (five) tumors is presented and the literature reviewed. This lesion would be more correctly designated as an adenomatosis. In spite of its frequent multicentricity, recurrence is unusual following surgical removal.
