Pleomorphic Adenoma of Lacrimal Gland with Intraconal Extension – A Rare Case Report

Dr. Prof. Jyoti Bhuyan, Dr. Daniel Varrosang Varte

Abstract :

Tumours of lacrimal Gland are rare in clinical practice and the most common epithelial tumour is Pleomorphic Adenoma. Here we are presenting a case of ploemorphic adenoma of lacrimal gland with intraconal extension, which is a rare occurrence. A middle aged female presented with painless eccentric proptosis of left eye. Contrast Enhanced MRI of orbit showed multilobulated enhancing intraconal mass in left orbit. Mass was surgically removed by anterior orbital approach. Histopathological examination revealed Pleomorphic Adenoma. Although intraconal extension of Pleomorphic Adenoma of Lacrimal Gland is rare, it should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis for any intaconal mass presenting with proptosis and dystopia
