  • Title: [Atypical presentation of lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma with necrotic foci].
    Author: Casado A, Sánchez-Gutiérrez V, Barrancos C, Albandea A.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2015 Sep; 90(9):432-4. PubMed ID: 25843695.
    Abstract:
    CLINICAL CASE: The case is presented of 48 year-old male complaining of a painful left upper eyelid and swelling of the lacrimal gland, with a suspicion of dacryoadenitis. Removal was decided after dacriops suspicion. Histopathology diagnosed a pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland, with areas of necrosis. DISCUSSION: Lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma usually presents as a slowly progressive painless mass. However, painful presentation in this case might be related with necrotic foci found in the histopathological examination. Although not described in lacrimal glands, pleomorphic adenomas have already been reported in the major and minor salivary glands, and these patients also presented with a painful mass.
