Solitary fibrous tumor of the lacrimal gland mimicking pleomorphic adenoma

Tumor fibroso solitário de glândula lacrimal simulando adenoma pleomórfico

ABSTRACT

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal spindle-cell neoplasm commonly found in the pleura; it is rare in the orbit and extremely rare in the lacrimal gland. We herein report a case of SFT of the lacrimal gland that mimicked a pleo morphic adenoma. We discuss the clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings that provided insight and rationale to accurately diagnose this case.
