Dacryocystitis in Acute Leukaemia.
نویسنده
چکیده
LEUKAEMIC infiltration of the lacrimal sac is rare (Duke-Elder, 1952) and dacryocystitis due to leukaemic involvement of the sac has seldom been reported (Stokes, 1938; Busina, 1950). The number of cases recorded is increased when the reports of Sulzer and Duclos (1906), Pascheff (1927), and Weve (1928) are considered, but these authors described lymphomata of the sac without the typical blood changes of leukaemia. Infiltration of the lacrimal glands in leukaemia is much more commonly seen (Trevor-Roper, 1958). The patient here described had lacrimal obstruction in acute leukaemia together with terminal enlargement of the lacrimal glands.

Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous.

متن کاملOrbital abscess secondary to acute dacryocystitis: case report.
Acute dacryocystitis usually induces preseptal infection. In rare instances the infection that is confined to the lacrimal sac can extend to the orbital contents resulting in orbital cellulitis. We present a case of intraconal abscess secondary to acute dacryocystitis and review the literature of orbital cellulitis resulting from acute lacrimal sac infection.
