Abstract
Epithelial tumors of the lacrimal gland account for 50% of the expansive lesions of the lacrimal fossa. Pleomorphic adenomas have a good prognosis if surgery achieves en bloc removal distant from the tumoral capsule. Nevertheless, despite more severe treatment, the average survival remains limited for adenocarcinomas and cylindromas.
