“…Tumors of the lacrimal gland are a rare condition in clinical practice, constituting 7-9% of all orbital tumors (1,2) . Among all of them, the most common epithelial tumor is the lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma (LGPA), accounting for more than half of the epithelial forms (3) , 0.6% of all orbital cases of tumors (5) and 12% of all lesions of the lacrimal gland (4) .…”

“…LGPA is most frequent in adults (6) in the third and fourth decades (2-4) (mean age: 41 years) (1) , with no gender preponderance (1,2) . The clinical presentation is usually characterized by a painless palpable mass (1,4) in the upper external quadrant of the orbit (2,8) , with slow growth and inferonasal displacement of the globe (1,2,4) .…”

RESUMOOs tumores da glândula lacrimal são raros na prática clínica. Dentre eles, o tumor epitelial mais comum é o adenoma pleomórfico da glândula lacrimal, que consiste em um tumor benigno, indolente, que geralmente acomete adultos na terceira e quarta décadas de vida. Apresentaremos um caso raro de adenoma pleomórfico de glândula lacrimal, bem como a condução do caso, achados radioló-gicos e o seu desfecho, além de um breve resumo da literatura.
