To report a patient with a cystadenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland, a tumor not previously described in the ophthalmic literature. Salivary gland cystadenocarcinomas constitute a distinct group of epithelial malignancies characterized by an invasive, predominantly cystic pattern of growth that have an indolent behavior and a low incidence of metastases and recurrences.
Single interventional case report.
The clinical findings, results of imaging studies, and pathologic findings are presented.
A 67-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of ptosis in the right upper eyelid. A lacrimal fossa tumor was found. The tumor was excised with an intact capsule, and the histopathologic diagnosis was primary cystadenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland. The patient received no other form of treatment and has been observed for 1 year without evidence of recurrence or metastatic disease.
Until recently, primary adenocarcinomas of the lacrimal gland were not further subclassified. Current knowledge gained from salivary gland tumors indicates that primary adenocarcinoma encompasses a group of tumors with separate morphologic features and varied biologic behavior.
报告1例泪腺囊腺癌患者，该肿瘤此前在眼科文献中未见描述。涎腺囊腺癌是一组独特的上皮性恶性肿瘤，其特征为侵袭性生长，主要呈囊性生长模式，生长缓慢，转移和复发率低。
单例介入病例报告。
介绍临床检查结果、影像学检查结果及病理检查结果。
一名67岁男性，右上睑下垂5年。发现泪腺窝有肿瘤。完整切除肿瘤，组织病理学诊断为原发性泪腺囊腺癌。患者未接受其他治疗，已观察1年，无复发或转移疾病迹象。
直到最近，泪腺原发性腺癌才进一步细分。从涎腺肿瘤获得的现有知识表明，原发性腺癌包括一组具有不同形态特征和不同生物学行为的肿瘤。
