ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Lacrimal sac tumors are rare with a clinical presentation that typically includes obstruction of the lacrimal drainage system and epiphora as the most frequent symptom. Cribriform adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the most common malignant epithelial tumor of the lacrimal gland and minor salivary glands; however, its occurrence in the lacrimal drainage apparatus is extremely rare. Given the rarity of ACC, definitive diagnosis is almost invariably late conferring a poor prognosis. Herein we report the case of a 41-year-old woman with primary ACC of the lacrimal sac and describe the ophthalmological examination, diagnosis, and multidisciplinary treatment of this rare type of tumor.
RESUMO
RESUMO Tumores do saco lacrimal são raros. A apresentação clínica muitas vezes mostra uma obstrução no sistema de drenagem lacrimal sendo a epífora o sinal mais frequente. Carcinoma adenóide cístico cribriforme (ACC) é o tumor epitelial maligno mais comum da glândula lacrimal e glândulas salivares menores, mas a sua ocorrência no aparelho de drenagem lacrimal é extremamente rara. Infelizmente, devido a raridade destes tumores, o diagnóstico preciso é quase sempre atrasado, o que por sua vez leva a um pior prognóstico. Nós relatamos o caso de uma mulher de 41 anos de idade, com ACC primário do saco lacrimal e analisamos o exame oftalmológico, diagnóstico e tratamento multidisciplinar deste tipo de tumor.
