Published: 2021-04-16

Abstract

There are several causes for a mass in the lacrimal gland region. The reported common causes include inflammatory and neoplastic that can manifest in many different forms like upper eyelid fullness, alteration of eyelid contour and displacement of the globe. The objective of this paper is to report two cases of orbital Schwannoma that presented with clinical manifestations of lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma and discuss the challenges in diagnosing and managing some unusual cases of a mass in the lacrimal gland region.
