Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lacrimal gland
Abstract:
A 55-year-old Japanese woman presented with proptosis of the left eye that showed rapid progression with profound lid oedema and chemosis with pain. Magnetic resonance imaging and helical computed tomography demonstrated a large mass of the upper temporal orbit and extended bony destruction of the frontal and zygomatic bones. She was successfully treated with orbital exenteration. A diagnosis of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lacrimal gland was made, which was confirmed by characteristic findings seen on histopathological examination.
