title: Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland in an eleven years old girl.
abstract: We are presenting a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland in a 11 years old girl. This is a rare presentation. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common epithelial tumour of the lacrimal gland, which represents 12% of all the lacrimal fossa lesions. It typically presents in middle age and is rare in children who are under the age of sixteen years, with only a few previously reported cases.
