Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor usually affecting salivary glands. This entity can occur in the orbital cavity, particularly in the main lacrymal gland. It frequently affects adults, and uncommonly children. We report the case of a 50-year-old patient, who consults for a right mass next to the tail of the eyebrow arch which histological examination after surgical removal confirmed a pleomorphic adenoma. This report emphasizes clinical, radiological, and histological features of pleomorphic adenomas. Surgery is the treatment of choice with complete resection of an intact capsule. Patients generally have an excellent prognosis for long-term survival after complete surgical excision.
