Lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenomas with low-density zones resembling cystic change on computed tomography.
We report 2 cases of pleomorphic adenoma with unusual radiologic findings. CT showed lacrimal gland masses dominated by low-density areas resembling cysts. Pathology revealed the lesions to be pleomorphic adenomas with myxomatous and/or cartilaginous features.
