Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Lacrimal Gland Manifesting as Exophthalmos in Adolescence : Case Report TSUNODA Shigeru YABUNO Toru SAKAKI Toshisuke MORIMOTO Tetsuya HOSHIDA Toru HIRABAYASHI Hidehiro TSUZUKI Toshihide 日本脳神経外科学会 Neurologia medico-chirurgica 04708105 34 12 814 816 1994-12-15 A 16-year-old girl presented with a pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland manifesting as left painless exophthalmos which had persisted for 3 years. Computed tomography revealed a tumor about 15mm in diameter in the superolateral site of the left orbit. The tumor was removed completely by combined orbitofrontal craniotomy through a transcranial approach. Histological examination demonstrated the growth of tumor cells as glandular cavities or sheets, with myxoid and partly chondroid connective tissue stroma. Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland is unusual in adolescents. 1994-12-15 110002278624 AN00358613 ENG CJPref NII-ELS Journal@rchive 3 2 Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Lacrimal Gland Manifesting as Exophthalmos in Adolescence : Case Report TSUNODA Shigeru YABUNO Toru SAKAKI Toshisuke MORIMOTO Tetsuya HOSHIDA Toru HIRABAYASHI Hidehiro TSUZUKI Toshihide The Japan Neurosurgical Society 神経外科 A 16-year-old girl presented with a pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland manifesting as left painless exophthalmos which had persisted for 3 years.
