Lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma
It is a benign, usually encapsulated neoplasm of the lacrimal gland composed of epithelial and mesenchymal cells.
Pathophysiology[edit | edit source]
- Pleomorphic adenomas are neoplasms that develop in the salivary glands or heterotopic salivary gland tissues.
- It has been suggested that myoepithelial cells play a major role in the histogenesis of these tumors.
- In the lacrimal gland, pleomorphic adenomas presumably develop from metaplastic myoepithelial cells.
