Abstract
We experienced a 39 year-old male who had progressive proptosis of left eye of about 2 years duration. Orbital computed tomography demonstrated a large well defined mass from eyeball in superiotemporal quadrant of the left orbit. Lateral orbitotomy for removal of mass was used and a part of mass sent to pathologist. The mass was interpreted as adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland. we performed total orbital exenteration of the left eye and covered with split-thickness skin graft from the left thigh. The patient received with 6,000 rad of radiation at 2 months following exenteration for prevention of recurrence of tumor. The general condition of patient and operation site are in good state, so we present our case as one of the therapeutic method in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland.
Key Words: adenoid cystic carcinoma;exentration;graft;lacrimal gland;radiation
