==Basal cell adenocarcinoma==
==Basal cell adenocarcinoma==
*Abbreviated ''BCAC''.
{{Main|Basal cell adenocarcinoma}}
===General===
*Very rare.
*Malignant.
*Good prognosis.
*May arise from a ''[[basal cell adenoma]]''.<ref name=pmid8952553/>
 
===Gross===
*Usually in the parotid gland ~90% of cases.<ref name=pmid8952553>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Muller | first1 = S. | last2 = Barnes | first2 = L. | title = Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the salivary glands.

===Microscopic===
Features:
#Lesion is '''not''' encapsulated - '''key feature'''.
#Basal-like cells:
#*Basophilic cells - '''key feature'''.
#*Usually in nests.
#**May be bilayered tubules ''or'' [[trabeculae]].
#*Large basophilic nucleus.
#*Minimal-to-moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm.
#Stromal cells.
#*Plump spindle cells without significant nuclear atypia.
#**Stromal cell nuclei width ~= diameter [[RBC]].
#*Dense hyaline stroma.
#Tubular component.
#*Within basal component, may be minimal.
 
DDx:
*[[Adenoid cystic carcinoma]].
*[[Basal cell adenoma]] - encapsulated.
*Basaloid [[squamous cell carcinoma]].
