Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common epithelial neoplasm of lacrimal gland. A clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma arising in the background of pleomorphic adenoma is common in the salivary glands but very rare in the lacrimal glands. We report the case of a 27 year old man whose lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma recurred several times over a period of four years and ultimately evolved into a clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
多形性腺瘤是泪腺最常见的上皮性肿瘤。起源于多形性腺瘤背景下的透明细胞肌上皮癌在涎腺中常见,但在泪腺中非常罕见。我们报告一例27岁男性患者,其泪腺多形性腺瘤在四年内多次复发,最终演变成多形性腺瘤恶变的透明细胞肌上皮癌。
