Abstract:
The authors experienced a case of the monomorphic adenoma of lacrimal gland. Monomorphic adenoma is an extremely rare salivary gland tumor. A fifty eight year old Korean female was admitted to our Dept. of Ophthalmology because of multiple small nodular masses on her right upper eyelid and a large hard solitary mass in the supraorbital area since one year ago. On B-scan ultrasonogtaphy, round echo-free zone was detected in the superiortemporal orbit. Well defined hyperdense, enhanced round extraconal mass in the superiororbital area was detected by orbital CT scan. Two large well encapsulated, dark brown colored masses were extracted by supraorbital approach and lateral orbitotomy under general anesthesia. After removal of the masses, histopathologic examination confirmed the lacrimal monomorphic adenoma.
