Pleomorphic Adenoma Lacrimal Gland.

ABSTRACT

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common epithelial tumour of the lacrimal gland1. Histological confirmation is necessary for diagnosis. I report a case of pleomorphic adenoma in an otherwise well 39 year old female patient and review the clinical and histological features of this tumour. These lesions are usually cured by simple surgical excision3, Inadequate removal leads to recurrence6. The incidence of pleomorphic adenoma is 3.4 to 4.8 % of the orbital lesions5.
