Abstract

OSTROSKY, Alejandro et al. Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Lacrimal Gland: Case Report. Med. oral patol. oral cir. bucal (Ed.impr.) [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.1, pp.77-85. ISSN 1698-4447.

Lacrimal gland tumors are rare. We present a case of a 69 year old male patient with a one year history of an orbital tumor (Pleomorphic Adenoma). The tumor was surgically enucleated and patient recovery was very satisfactory, with no signs of recurrence after one year of follow-up. A review of the clinical symptoms, radiologic features, treatment and histopathology of this kind of tumors is also made.

Keywords : Pleomorphic Adenoma; benign mixed tumor; lacrimal gland.
