Abstract
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.
