Abstract

Here, we report 3 cases of mixed tumor of the lacrimal gland. The age of the patients were 43, 26 and 35 respectively. The two of these were male and one female. The most outstanding complaint was exopthalmos. A mass was palpated on the orbit and eye ball deviation in downward position was present in all cases. Pathologic findings were mixed tumor of the lacrimal gland with no evidence of malignancy. These tumors were well encapsulated and any evidence of involving bone and soft tissue was not found. Modified Kroenlein-Berke operation was performed and tumor mass was removed entirely with finger dissection in all cases. The vision was not improved but the cosmetic result was satisfactorr.
