“…5 The presence of cells of different histological origins allows the development of several distinct types of neoplasms, usually divided into epithelial, lymphoid and mesenchymal. 6 To the best of our knowledge, only 75 primary tumors of the palpebral lobe were reported in the literature 4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] (Supplementary Table 1). Among these, 71 had an epithelial origin, in most cases (95.8%) pleomorphic adenomas (PA), 4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] the remaining corresponding to one carcinoma in-pleomorphic adenoma, one carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma, and only one case was compatible with an ACC.…”

Epithelial tumors of the lacrimal gland are rare and usually develop in the orbital lobe. We report the exceedingly rare occurrence of a primary adenoid cystic carcinoma in the palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland. A 26-year-old female was referred for evaluation of a gradually enlarging mass in the lateral upper eyelid, previously diagnosed as a chalazion. Computed tomography revealed a heterogeneous round lesion anterior to the orbital rim. Excisional biopsy was compatible with an adenoid cystic carcinoma. After excluding distant metastasis, and as the patient refused adjuvant radiotherapy, a second surgical procedure, with wide local excision, was indicated. Follow-up showed no recurrence. This case highlights the importance of performing a thorough clinical examination when diagnosing any lateral upper eyelid mass. A high index of suspicion for malignant tumors of the lacrimal gland should always be maintained, and a complete excision with histological analysis should be preferred whenever possible.

El adenoma pleomorfo de la glándula lagrimal es considerado uno de los tumores de glándulas lagrimales más frecuentes. Sin embargo, en ocasiones la falta de sospecha clínica preoperatoria puede afectar el tratamiento adecuado del mismo y la evolución de dicha patología. Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente de sexo masculino de 68 años de edad que acude por dolor en región orbitaria derecha. Tras la sospecha, es intervenido quirúrgicamente, con reporte de patología de un adenoma pleomorfo de glandula salival. Paciente presenta evolución satisfactoria.

“…[ 3 ] It is important to appreciate the characteristic anterior location of the tumor, outside the orbital rim, presenting with mechanical ptosis without any displacement of the globe, bone remodeling or intramural calcification. [ 4 ] Palpebral lobe pleomorphic adenomas can be excised by transseptal superior eyelid crease approach leading to a more aesthetic outcome, and avoiding injury to lacrimal ductules or an extensive lateral orbitotomy[ 2 3 ] [ Figure 2e ].…”
