The authors report a bilateral exophthalmos due to a leukemic infiltration of the orbital lacrimal glands during an acute myeloblastic leukemia in a ten-year-old boy. This rare orbital localization revealed the leukemia. It was not a granulocytic sarcoma. Its importance leads to the extraction of the lacrimal glands in order to prevent the eyes from corneal perforation.
