Purpose: To report one case of pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland in a child.
Case summary: A 7-year-old boy presented with a 2-month history of an exophthalmos and mild ptosis of the left eye; there were no other ophthalmologic problems. Orbit MRI revealed a well-defined mass in the left lacrimal gland and a defect in the orbital roof due to pressure erosion. Tumor resection was performed via a lateral orbitotomy and a biopsy was requested. The biopsy revealed tumor tissue that was composed of epithelial elements with variably sized duct formation. Focal squamous metaplasia and keratin production was also observed.
Conclusions: Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a lacrimal gland mass in a child.
