The presentation in the lacrimal gland is rare. We report the case of a 27 year old female patient undergoing renal transplantation receiving immunosuppressive treatment (tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and everolimus); she presents a supero-external angle tumor of the left orbit, in relation to the lacrimal gland according to the orbit tomography. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed, the pathology report was: plasmocytic hyperplasia. Later it presents tumor in both orbits, it is indicated rituximab, with total remission of the tumor that is confirmed with tomography study of orbits.
