Focal Necrosis in Orbital Pleomorphic Adenoma

Hsi-Wei Chung, Steve Rasmussen and David Warren Rossman

Pleomorphic adenomas (PA) are common benign tumours of the lacrimal gland. Necrosis in PA is unusual and should raise a suspicion and screen for malignancy. We hereby present a case report of pleomorphic adenoma with necrotic foci in the orbit of a 44-year-old lady and a review of current literature for focal  necrosis in orbital pleomorphic adenoma.
