A rare case of bilateral basal cell adenomas in the parotid glands

We report a very rare case of bilateral parotid tumors in a 55-year-old female patient who presented with left parotid mass of 7 × 7 cm size since 8 years and right parotid mass of 2.5 × 1.5 cm size since 2 years duration. Based on clinical features a provisional diagnosis of bilateral pleomorphic adenomas was made. Results of fine needle aspiration cytology of both masses were inconclusive. Bilateral superficial conservative parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation revealed bilateral encapsulated and lobulated tumors which on histopathological examination revealed bilateral basal cell adenomas in both parotid glands.
