Abstract |
PURPOSE To report a case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the lacrimal sac. METHODS: A 51-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of tearing on the left eye. Nasolacrimal duct stenosis was found on dacryocystogram. After observation of 2 months, the tearing became worse and a palpable mass at the medial canthal area was noted. Orbital computed tomography showed the tumor of the left lacrimal sac and complete excision of the tumor and sac was performed. RESULTS: Pathologic diagnosis of the excised mass was epithelioid-hemagioendothelioma. There was no evidence of recurrence until last follow-up at postoperative 4 months. |
