Core Tip
Core tip: Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is a rare benign tumour that has unique histological characteristics and primarily arises in the parotid glands. Destruction of nearby tissue by BCA has not been reported. We presented a case of tubular BCA in the deep lobe of the parotid gland involving the ipsilateral skull base and mastoid. It suggests that a diagnosis of BCA can only be established after an excisional biopsy, and tubular BCA should carefully be considered as a destructive type.
