title: [Adenocarcinoma with apocrine differentiation of the lacrimal gland].
abstract: METHODS
  A 74-year-old male presented with an orbital tumor located in the left lacrimal fossa. Ocular examination showed hypotropia, exophthalmos and palpebral ptosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Removal of the tumor was performed by a lateral orbitotomy. The histopathologic study showed a tumor consistent with an adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland with apocrine differentiation.
