Pleomorphic Adenoma of Lacrymal Glands: Case Reports

Background: Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland is a rare orbital tumor affecting young adults, with a high risk of recurrence if poorly managed. Materials and methods: Two cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland were collected in the maxillofacial surgery department of CHU Ibn Rochd, Casablanca. Discussion: Pleomorphic adenomas of the lacrimal glands are very uncommon. Positive diagnosis remains difficult, and symptoms include progressive exophthalmos with or without pain, disturbance of monocular motility up to and including deterioration of vision ... Surgery is imperative, and histological study of the surgical specimen is the only way to confirm the diagnosis.
