Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Lacrimal gland tumors are rare and can cause significant symptoms.
  • Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign lacrimal gland tumor.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old female presented with left lacrimal gland enlargement, pain, and inflammation.
  • CT scan revealed a hyperdense mass in the left lacrimal fossa.
  • Initial observation was chosen due to contraindications for steroid therapy (digestive ulcers).

Findings:

  • The lacrimal mass was surgically removed after 9 months of observation.
  • Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma.
  • En bloc surgical removal was achieved via a wide anterolateral approach.

Implications:
