LACRIMAL SAC CARCINOMA: A RARE CASE REPORT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lacrimal sac cancer is a very rare malignant tumor, usually detected by ophthalmologists. The main treatment is to completely remove the tumor and the lacrimal duct, followed by radiation therapy in cases where the resection area still has a tumor or the tumor invades the eye socket, nasal cavity and skull base. Case report: We report a case of a patient who was diagnosed with lacrimal duct obstruction, who underwent surgery to place a lacrimal duct catheter, and a lacrimal sac biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma of the lacrimal sac. The patient underwent surgery to completely remove the lacrimal sac and lacrimal duct. In this case, the tumor was completely removed, ensuring that the biopsy results of the resection area were clear of the tumor. The patient was stable and had no recurrence.
