Résumé
The authors report a case of extremely uncommon malignancy of lacrimal gland epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma. This carcinoma is more commonly encountered in salivary glands and comprises 1% of all salivary gland tumors. Its occurrence in the orbit is very rare with only 6 cases reported in the literature, most of which arose in a pleomorphic adenoma. Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is primarily a tumor of older adults, with a peak incidence in the sixth and seventh decades of life. The present case is the youngest patient reported to date and had no history of preexisting neoplasm in the lacrimal gland. Histological diagnosis of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is challenging because of the similarity with other lacrimal gland epithelial tumors like malignant adenoid cystic carcinoma and benign pleomorphic adenomas.
