Primary tumors of the lacrimal sac are rare, and mucoepidermoid carcinomas of the lacrimal sac have only been reported 13 times in the literature. We reported an intermediate-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma that was managed with wide local excision, medial maxillectomy, and external beam radiotherapy, and the patient has remained disease-free for 7 years. Orbital exenteration had generally been recommended for these tumors, but newer, more conservative resections along with radiation therapy may be equally effective.
泪囊原发性肿瘤较为罕见，泪囊黏液表皮样癌在文献中仅报道过13例。我们报告了1例中度黏液表皮样癌，采用广泛局部切除、上颌骨内侧切除术和外照射放疗进行治疗，该患者已无病生存7年。对于这些肿瘤，一般推荐行眶内容剜除术，但新的、更保守的切除术联合放射治疗可能同样有效。
