## TL;DR

This case report discusses the treatment of a rare lacrimal gland tumor that extended into the brain.

## Contribution

The paper presents a multidisciplinary management approach for a rare tumor with intracranial extension.

## Key findings

- CXPA of the lacrimal gland is rare and challenging to manage due to its location.
- A multidisciplinary approach was used to treat a CXPA with intracranial extension.

## Abstract

Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) of the lacrimal gland is rare, and its management can be complex given its anatomic location. In this case report, we describe our approach to multidisciplinary management of a CXPA with intracranial extension.
