Abstract

A 19-year-old man visited out-patient department of the Ophthalmology in our hospital due to unilateral proptosis connected with excessive tearing and moderate swelling of the eyelid in the right eye, 2 years in duration. CT scan demonstrated a relatively well demarcated, single mass measuring 2.5 X 2.5cm in the posterotemporal portion of the right orbit, which had strongly enhanced, hyper dense, internal consistency. We underwent lateral orbitotomy for total removal of this mass under general anesthesia and histopathological diagnosis was made as a pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland. This patient is satisfied with good cosmetic and clinical result.
