Pleomorphic adenoma in the palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland misdiagnosed as chalazion

Nor'Aini Ramlee et al. Orbit. 2007 Jun.

Abstract

We reported a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland involving the palpebral lobe in young teenage girl of Asian origin. The presentation at young age group is rare, which initially misdiagnosed as a large chalazion. The benign tumor with its intact pseudocapsule was removed through lateral orbitotomy together with the suspicious looking orbital lobe.
