ABSTRACT
A mass that recurred after dacryocystectomy for benign squamous papilloma of the lacrimal sac was diagnosed as a high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a 53-year-old man on histopathology. Local excision to the orbital periosteum was performed and gave a margin free of invasion. Neither local recurrence nor systemic metastasis was found 3 years after local excision. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lacrimal sac is extremely rare and spreads locally in an aggressive manner; a cure typically requires exenteration, radical resection, or adjuvant radiotherapy. In this rare case, despite the high malignancy, the patient underwent successful local excision, achieved an aesthetically satisfying result, and has had a long-term cancer-free period.
