Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland is one among the common malignancies affecting the lacrimal gland. However, overall, it is a rare condition. It has a rather poor prognosis with local recurrence and distant haematological metastasis which are invariably multiple. We present a rare case of a 51-year-old woman who presented with localised lower thoracic pain with collapse of the T10 vertebral body, which turned out be a solitary late metastasis from her previously treated lacrimal gland tumour.
泪腺腺样囊性癌是影响泪腺的常见恶性肿瘤之一。然而,总体而言,它是一种罕见的疾病。其预后相当差,会出现局部复发和远处血液转移,且转移往往是多发性的。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名51岁女性,表现为局限性下胸痛伴T10椎体塌陷,结果发现是她先前治疗过的泪腺肿瘤的孤立性晚期转移。
