According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) histological classification of salivary gland tumours, basal cell adenoma was classified as an independent tumour in 1991. Basal cell adenoma most commonly arises in the parotid gland and rarely in the minor salivary glands. Only 10 cases of basal cell adenoma arising in the palate have been reported so far in the literature, all of which have been managed surgically. We herein report a case of basal cell adenoma arising from the soft palate. The patient is a 46-year-old woman who noticed a mass on the left side of her palate since 8 years. After clinical and radiological examination, the patient was provisionally diagnosed with a benign palatal tumour. Excision of the tumour was performed by trans oral approach under general anesthesia. Histopathological examination was suggestive of basal cell adenoma, dermal type. No recurrence was noted after 1 year of follow up.
