Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of orbital lacrimal gland: a case report
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 9
Abstract
Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the orbital lacrimal gland is a rare carcinoma. A 46-year-old female patient presented with red and swollen left eyelid, proptosis and blurred vision. The clinical and imaging manifestations were similar to inflammatory pseudotumor. Pathological examination was performed after complete resection. Pathological features showed undifferentiated carcinoma nests surrounded by obvious infiltration of non-neoplastic lymphocytes and plasma cells, which was consistent with the diagnosis of lymphoepithelial carcinoma. Chemotherapy and local radiotherapy were performed after the resection. The case did not relapse after 5 years of follow-up. The clinical manifestations of orbital lacrimal lymphoepithelial carcinoma were easily confused with inflammatory pseudotumor. Pathological examination should be performed to clarify its malignant phenotype. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy after complete resection had a good effect.
