Abstract

This article reports a case of an intranasal basal cell adenoma, which is an extremely rare tumor and comprises only 1 to 3% of salivary gland neoplasms. The tumor was removed by intranasal excision with the small alar rhinotomy to facilitate the access. Immunohistochemically the diagnosis of basal cell adenoma was confirmed. There was no recurrence after 24-month follow up. This location of basal cell adenoma has not yet been described in the recent literature.
