Chronically discharging lacrimal fistula—A forerunner of Malignancy?
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Lacrimal sac malignancies are rare cause of epiphora. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common type of lacrimal sac malignancy. Both sexes are equally affected[1]. The peak incidence is at the fifth decade[1]. About 300 cases were reported in literature[2]. Since it is a fatal condition early diagnosis and treatment are important. We present a case of fifty nine years old chronic smoker with history of lacrimal trauma presented as lacrimal sac SCC.
