Primary Adenocarcinoma of Lacrimal Gland: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: GUJARAT CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH JOURNAL - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Primary adenocarcinomas of the lacrimal gland are very rare which usually arise de novo. They share similar morphopathological characteristics with salivary gland tumors.We presented a case of 40 years old female with adenocarcinoma of lacrimal gland. CT showed a mass lesion in superolateral aspect of right orbit for which excision was done. She presented with recurrent lesion after three years of surgery. Lacrimal gland tumors are rare but very aggressive and poor prognostic tumors. Complete excision with adjuvant treatment is recommended.
