Abstract:
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lacrimal gland is a rare tumor from the epithelial structure. It is rare in children. The authors report a case of ACC in a girl child. Extensive excision of the tumor is advised to prevent later recurrences. Local control can be better achieved by a combination of radiochemotherapy as ACC has been shown to recur event after 10 years.
