Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland (PALG) is a benign neoplasm typically presenting with gradual, painless globe displacement and/or lid swelling. We report an atypical case of PALG in a 53-year old male presenting acutely, mimicking orbital cellulitis.

Background: Spontaneous intramuscular haematomas by definition are haematomas without known etiology and exclude those caused by trauma, surgery, and muscular disease. This is a rare condition which has been increasing in incidence lately largely due to anticoagulant therapy use and currently, there is no level 1 evidence with regards to the best management of these patients, with different institutions using different approaches to treatment.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 31 patients who were treated with the diagnosis of spontaneous intramuscular haematoma in our center, in the years between 2013 and 2017.
