A case of a 9-year-old child with pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland is described. This tumour is usually found in adults; cases younger than 10 years of age have proved to be extremely rare. Because of its age distribution, pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland is usually overlooked as a possible cause of unilateral proptosis in children. Also, the history of disease provided by the family may be incorrect, possibly leading to misdiagnosis by the ophthalmologist.
本文描述了一例9岁儿童泪腺多形性腺瘤的病例。这种肿瘤通常见于成年人;10岁以下的病例极为罕见。由于其年龄分布特点,泪腺多形性腺瘤通常被忽视,未被视为儿童单侧眼球突出的可能病因。此外,家属提供的病史可能有误,这可能导致眼科医生误诊。
