Inverted papillomas of the lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct are exceedingly rare. Though histologically benign, these tumors are locally aggressive, have propensity for recurrence and are associated with a chance of malignant transformation. These tumors can present in an innocuous manner, masquerading as more common conditions such as primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction. We present our experience with one such case and a review of the literature to emphasize the importance of pre-operative assessment and intra-operative vigilance, so as to aid in accurate diagnosis and early treatment.
泪囊和鼻泪管内翻性乳头状瘤极为罕见。尽管这些肿瘤在组织学上是良性的，但具有局部侵袭性，易于复发，且有恶变的可能。这些肿瘤可能以无害的方式表现出来，伪装成更常见的疾病，如原发性获得性鼻泪管阻塞。我们介绍了这样一个病例的经验，并对文献进行了综述，以强调术前评估和术中警惕的重要性，从而有助于准确诊断和早期治疗。
