소타액선에 발생한 기저세포선암의 치험례 = BASAL CELL ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE MINOR SALIVARY GLAND - A CASE REPORT

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Basal cell adenocarcinoma is an epithelial neoplasm which is cytologically and histomorphologically similar
to basal cell adenoma but is different because of the infilitrative growth. This tumor, a rare salivary gland
tumor newly classified as basal cell adenocarcinoma by the WHO in 1991, is infiltrative, locally destructive
and tends to recur but metastasis is less common.
The differential diagnosis includes basal cell adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and basaloid squamous
carcinoma.
Nearly 90 percent of these tumors occurr in the parotid gland and can be classified into low grade carcinomas
with a relative good prognosis. Basal cell adenocarcinoma of minor salivary gland is very rare and has a
less favorable clinical course compared with that of the major salivary glands.
This is a case of basal cell adenocarcinoma occurring at the minor salivary gland of the soft palate. We treated
this patient with block excision and adjunctive radiation therapy.
