Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical manifestation,imaging features and treatment of primary lacri-mal gland epithelial tumor.Methods The clinical data of 25 cases with primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors were retrospectively studied.Results All of 25 primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumor cases received surgical treatment. Fourteen primary orbital tumors cases were male and 11 cases were female.The mean age was 44 years old (ranged 23 to 65).The mean hospital stay was 12d(ranged 7 to 20).Among 25 primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumor cases, 11 cases were benign tumors which included 4 inflammatory pseudotumor,11 pleomorphic adenoma.Fourteen cases were malignant tumors which included 4 malignant pleomorphic adenoma,6 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 4 adenocar-cinoma.After opeation,visual acuity improved in 9 cases,unchanged 10 cases,decreased 6 cases.The patients were followed up for 16 -48 months(mean 27 months).There were 4 malignant tumors recurrence after operation and received radical operation.While 2 patients were lost and 2 patients died of tumor metastasis,the other 21 patients survived with tumor -free.Conclusion Primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors have different clinical and imaging appearances.Combination of ultrasound,CT and MRI is important to ascertain the character,range and degree of primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors.Surgical excision is the main and effective treatment for primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors,while gamma knife treatment is safe and effective for malignant,unresectable,recurrences tumors.
