영문 초록

Purpose: We have experienced a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lacrimal gland. Methods: 39-year-old male patient complaint of proptosis and upper eyelid swelling of the left eye for 4 months. Orbit radiographs showed a 2 cm sized inhomogenous density mass in upper lateral aspect of the left orbit. Excisional biopsy was performed. Results: Histopathologically, the mass was proved as an intermediate grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lacrimal gland. Postoperative radiopraphs showed no metastasis. Additional operation was performed to eliminate the remnant tumor near the lacrimal gland. The patient underwent a concurrent chemoradiotherapy and no recurrence or metastasis was found. Conclusions: We report a mucoepidermoid carcinoma which occurs rarely in lacrimal gland.
