چکیده
purpose: to report a case of lymphangioma in the lacrimal gland. case report: a 6-year old boy with acute proptosis and inferonasal displacement of the globe was referred. in ct-scan revealed a heterogenous enlargement of the lacrimal gland. steroid therapy did not lead to a significant improvement. during surgical exploration, a dark black liquid was extracted from the site of the lacrimal gland and pathology confirmed lymphangioma of the lacrimal gland. clinical signs and symptoms improved after surgery and no recurrence has occurred up to one year. conclusion: lymphangioma must be considered as a differential diagnosis in acute enlargement of the lacrimal gland especially in a child or young patient.

Cases of conjunctival, corneal, and orbital myxomas have been reported in the literature; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report of a lacrimal gland myxoma. We report a case of an orbital myxoma involving the lacrimal gland and its management.

متن کاملHuman Lacrimal Gland Gene Expression
BACKGROUND The study of human lacrimal gland biology and development is limited. Lacrimal gland tissue is damaged or poorly functional in a number of disease states including dry eye disease. Development of cell based therapies for lacrimal gland diseases requires a better understanding of the gene expression and signaling pathways in lacrimal gland. Differential gene expression analysis betwee...
