The following are the high grade salivary gland malignancies, except:: (A) Basal cell adenocarcinoma, (B) Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, (C) Adenoid cystic carcinoma, (D) Salivary duct carcinoma
Answer is A. Basal cell adenocarcinoma of salivary glands is an uncommon neoplasm occurring almost exclusively in major salivary glands. It is a low-grade malignant neoplasm, cytologically similar to basal cell adenoma, but is infiltrative and has a small potential for metastasis.
