We report a rare case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the lacrimal sac in a 50-year-old male. The incidence of primary ocular lymphoma is low and it is considered a rare disease. Moreover, reports of ocular DLBCL are uncommon and the disease remains poorly characterized. Our patient presented for management of osteomyelitis and was incidentally found to have a painless swelling and ...

The purpose of this study was to present the imaging features of primary and secondary malignant lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct tumors and their pattern of tumor spread in 18 patients. The most common tumor histology in our series was squamous cell carcinoma. In 15/18 patients, tumor involved both the lacrimal sac and duct at the time of diagnosis. In 11/16 patients on CT, the nasolacrimal ...

UNLABELLED The lacrimal sac is the structure most vulnerable to injury when performing rhinoplastic osteotomies. When performed in a low lateral position or along the frontal process of the frontal-maxillary suture, osteotomies can potentially tear the medial canthal tendon and injure the underlying lacrimal sac, possibly resulting in dacryocystitis. In this case report, the authors discuss a c...

DACRYOCYSTORHINOSTOMY, the operation of choice in chronic dacryocystitis, is performed in almost all cases in this clinic by a special technique. Toti (1904) first described the drainage of the lacrimal sac by removal of the bony wall. Kuhnt (1914) stitched the nasal mucosa to the periosteum. Ohn (1920) first sutured the nasal mucosa to the sac. The operation was modified by Dupuy-Dutemps and B...

This was an unusual case of lacrimal sac compression by an anterior ethmoidal mucocele presenting as a late complication of a dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) that was jointly managed by ophthalmic and ENT surgeons via an endoscopic approach. A 22-year-old lady presented with a 12-month history of a painless lump in her left medial canthus area and a 6-month history of left intermittent epiphora. Sh...

purpose : to report a case of retained silicone tube case report : we report a case of 48-year-old iranian lady who referred to the department of otolaryngology with 18 years history of epiphora and intermittent mucopurulant discharge from the left lacrimal canaliculi. she had external dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr) with silicon stenting for epiphora 18 years ago but epiphora had continued after s...

REPORTS on tumours ofthe lacrimal sac appear infrequently in the literature and most ophthalmologists seldom encounter these tumours, but this does not detract from their interest, occasional reports serving as a reminder of the possible presence of a neoplasm when dealing with a mass in this region. Since 1950, eight carcinomata, one adenoma, three papillomata, and two malignant melanomata hav...

Inverted papillomas are benign but invasive tumors with malignant potential characterized by a high recurrence rate. Although most cases arise from the nasal wall and paranasal sinuses, inverted originating nasolacrimal system have been rarely reported. We describe rare case of an papilloma in left cavity, which originated lacrimal sac 40-year-old female who had medical history endoscopic dacry...
