Journal Title: IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Myoepithelioma of lacrimal gland, an extremely rare monomorphic adenoma, has been reported only 7 times to the best of our knowledge. We report a case of 62 years old female who presented with painless proptosis of the left eye with restricted extraocular movements. MRI scan revealed a well- defined hypodense mass originating from the lacrimal gland. The lesion was excised in- toto following a planned anterior orbitotomy. Histopathology revealed spindle cell and round cell proliferation which was positive for actin, vimentin, cytokeratin and glial fibrillary acidic protein and negative for S100 and desmin on immunohistochemistry. Post- operative period was uneventful and there was no evidence of recurrence in three years until the last follow up.
