A 67-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of a malignant appearing left lacrimal gland mass. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed in the office, diagnosing the mass as large cell carcinoma (LCCA) of the lacrimal gland. This represents the second reported case of LCCA of the lacrimal gland and details the potential for FNA biopsy to successfully yield the diagnosis. LCCA of the lacrimal gland is rare, but should be considered in cases of malignant lacrimal gland neoplasms.
一名67岁男性患者,左侧泪腺出现肿物,外观呈恶性,病程6个月。在门诊进行了细针穿刺活检,诊断该肿物为泪腺大细胞癌(LCCA)。这是第二例报道的泪腺大细胞癌病例,并详细说明了细针穿刺活检成功获得诊断的可能性。泪腺大细胞癌罕见,但在泪腺恶性肿瘤病例中应予以考虑。
