Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland is a highly malignant tumor usually characterized by symptoms of less than 1 year's duration. Computed tomographic (CT) findings of adjacent bony erosion or focal tumor sclerosis are also suggestive. We present a 57-year-old female patient who manifested symptoms of an enlarging mass in the right lacrimal fossa for almost 3 years prior to the establishment of the diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma. CT findings during those years were not supportive for malignancy. The treatment included en bloc resection of the mass and adjacent bone and radiotherapy.
泪腺腺样囊性癌是一种高度恶性肿瘤，通常表现为病程少于1年的症状。计算机断层扫描（CT）显示相邻骨质侵蚀或局灶性肿瘤硬化也具有提示意义。我们报告一名57岁女性患者，在诊断为腺样囊性癌之前，右侧泪腺窝肿块增大症状已持续近3年。这些年的CT检查结果不支持恶性肿瘤的诊断。治疗包括整块切除肿块及相邻骨质并进行放疗。
