Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma affects glandular structures, occurring mostly in major salivary glands and less commonly in the lacrimal gland. We present a rare case in the lacrimal gland. We highlight the importance of keeping this rare tumor in mind and the early detection of symptoms because such a malignant transformation could occur in pleomorphic adenomas, with the proportion dependent on the duration of the tumor.
多形性腺瘤恶变累及腺性结构,主要发生于大唾液腺,较少见于泪腺。我们报告1例罕见的泪腺多形性腺瘤恶变病例。我们强调了认识这种罕见肿瘤以及早期发现症状的重要性,因为多形性腺瘤可能发生这种恶变,其比例取决于肿瘤的病程。
