Abstract
Pediatric orbital masses are not common but encompass a wide spectrum of benign and malignant entities that range from developmental anomalies to primary and secondary orbital malignancies and metastatic disease. Certain orbital tumors are unique to pediatric patients, such as retinoblastoma and neuroblastoma. Clinical symptoms and signs are often insufficient to differentiate between orbital lesions, and imaging is essential for narrowing the diagnostic considerations and determining the most appropriate management strategy. MRI is the primary imaging modality for evaluating orbital masses in children, with US and CT playing complementary roles. The authors review a spectrum of masses and tumor mimics that affect the pediatric globe and orbit. The shared and differentiating characteristics of pediatric orbital lesions are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on utilizing an orbital compartment-based approach to narrow the differential diagnosis. By using this organizational scheme, the authors describe intraocular processes (retinoblastoma, persistent fetal vasculature, and Coats disease), intraconal lesions (lymphatic malformation, schwannoma, optic nerve sheath meningioma, and optic pathway glioma), extraconal lesions (infantile hemangioma, rhabdomyosarcoma, idiopathic orbital inflammation, lymphoma, venous varix, plexiform neurofibroma, and pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland), and lesions involving the bony orbit (dermoid cyst, metastatic neuroblastoma, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis). The authors describe the basic management of each entity. Orbital infections and traumatic lesions are beyond the scope of this article. ©RSNA, 2022.

Abstract
We present a very rare case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) ex pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland. Our patient presented with a 12 month history of painful proptosis of his left eye associated with severe headache. Imaging showed a left lacrimal gland lesion with extensive orbital disease extending into lateral and superior rectus muscles, cavernous sinus and the greater wing of the sphenoid. A lacrimal gland biopsy showed a combination of small bland glandular structures and sclerotic, elastin-containing stroma showing that the SCC had arisen on a background of a probable pleomorphic adenoma. Treatment with cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil proved efficacious with a significant reduction of orbital and post-orbital disease on interval scanning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lacrimal gland (LG) tumours are rare neoplasms. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common histologic variant, representing ∼20% of all LG tumours. PA tends to recur leading to great morbidity. AIMS We carried out this study to share our experience and provide recent data on the clinical aspects, radiologic findings, management and outcome after treatment. METHODS We realised a hospital-based retrospective case review including data collected from 52 patients, managed over 15 years. RESULTS The mean age was 39.8 ± 2 years. Unilateral painless proptosis was the most constant sign (51.9%). CT-scan showed predominantly isodense lesions (96.2%), with regular borders (94.2%), measuring on average 2 cm. MRI showed isointense lesions on T1-weighted images in 96.2% of cases. No pre-operative biopsy was done. Surgical management was mainly external lateral orbitotomy (94.2%). There was no recurrence, considering a mean follow-up period of 12.6 years. Size of tumour at the time of diagnosis increased with age (r = +0.36, p = .01). CONCLUSIONS Clinical and radiologic characteristics are consistent with literature. Older patients seem to present larger tumours. We believe that biopsy is not necessary if appropriate imaging is done. Complete, intact resection is generally sufficient to minimise the risk of recurrence.

Abstract
We present a case of a 13 year old girl with a diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma (PA) located in the lacrimal gland of the left upper eyelid. The patient had a very satisfactory recovery after surgical excision of the tumor, with no recurrence after a two year follow-up. The clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics of PAs are discussed.
