Popis:	Only three cases of pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) of ectopic lacrimal gland mass in deep orbital location have been reported in the literature. This report describes a case of PA of the ectopic lacrimal gland situated deep in the orbit leading to proptosis, which was managed successfully by supraorbital orbitotomy via eyebrow incision. A 60-year-old female presented with complaints of gradually progressive, painless proptosis of the right eye. Imaging revealed a well-defined circumscribed mass lesion in the right orbit located predominantly in the postero-superior aspect of the globe. The patient underwent complete excision through supraorbital orbitotomy approach, using eyebrow incision. There was no clinical evidence of recurrence at eight months follow up. In orbit, PAs of the ectopic lacrimal gland are extremely rare, and the success of the treatment depends on the removal of the tumor with its capsule.
