We treated an extremely rare case of bilateral basal cell adenomas combined with Warthin's tumor in the left parotid gland. The patient was a 65-year-old male who complained of swelling in the bilateral parotid areas. We removed bilateral parotid masses. Histopathological examination demonstrated adenoma and Warthin's tumor. The incidence of bilateral parotid tumors is rare, and synchronous tumors with different histopathological types in a single salivary gland are extremely rare.
Key words : basal cell adenomas, Warthin's tumor, bilateral parotid tumors, synchronous tumors
