ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Here we describe a rare case of a benign tumor in the lacrimal gland of a healthy 4-year-old girl. Mild proptosis was the only abnormality observed on clinical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging of the right orbit revealed an oval, solid, well-circumscribed, homogeneous mass extending from the lacrimal gland and measuring 2.5 × 2.3 × 1.7 cm without any evidence of invasion into adjacent bones. The lesion was surgically excised and histological analyses defined the diagnosis of oncocytoma of the lacrimal gland. Although rare, oncocytoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of lacrimal gland tumors.


Resumo Nós descrevemos um raro caso de tumor benigno na glândula lacrimal em uma criança sadia de 4 anos de idade. Clinicamente, a paciente apresentava apenas uma discreta proptose. A ressonância nuclear magnética (RNM) de órbita direita revelou a presença de uma massa oval, sólida, bem-circunscrita, homogênea, se extendendo a partir da glândula lacrimal, medindo 2,5 cm x 2,3 cm x 1,7 cm, sem nenhum sinal evidente de invasão a estrutura óssea adjacente. A lesão foi cirurgicamente removida e analizada histopatologicamente, sendo estabelecido o diagnóstico de oncocitoma de glândula lacrimal. Apesar de raro, o oncocitoma deve ser incluído no diagnóstico diferencial de qualquer tumor originado da glândula lacrimal.
