“…This has led to a still increasing number of new epithelial tumours reported in the lacrimal gland. Of the benign tumours, oncocytoma is most frequently reported with 10 primary cases in the lacrimal gland published to date, including three cases of primary malignant oncocytoma (Calle et al 2006;Economou et al 2007;Archondakis et al 2009). The patients had a median age of 68 years (range of 18 months-83 years) and a median duration of symptoms of 3 months (range of 2 months-8 years).…”

“…According to the salivary gland literature, oncocytoma may transform malignantly. However, transformation of a primary benign oncocytoma has never been reported in the lacrimal gland (Calle et al 2006). Myoepithelioma is a wellknown entity in the salivary glands (Ellis & Auclair 2008).…”

. Epithelial tumours of the lacrimal gland represent a large spectrum of lesions with similarities in clinical signs and symptoms but with different biological behaviour and prognosis. They are rare, but with aggressive malignant potential. Tumours of the lacrimal gland may present with swelling of the lacrimal gland, displacement of the eyeball, reduced eye motility and diplopia. Pain and symptoms of short duration before the first ophthalmic consultation are characteristic of malignant tumours. The histological diagnosis determines the subsequent treatment regimen and provides important clues regarding the prognosis. The purpose of this paper is to describe the various primary epithelial tumours of the lacrimal gland. In the first part of the review, the frequency, demographics, clinical presentation and diagnostic features are described. In the second part, primarily tumour‐specific histological characteristics are given. Finally, treatment modalities including surgical procedures and medical oncology as well as prognosis are discussed.

“…They all showed malignant histologic fi ndings: oncocytic adenocarcinoma, 1 oncocytic carcinoma, 2 and malignant oncocytoma. 2 Two of the three cases had one common feature in that the tumor had extended intracranially. Thus, a careful histopathologic review can help exclude the possibility of a malignant oncocytic lesion, in addition to which the absence of an intracranial extension in a radiologic examination is a good indicator of a benign lesion.…”

“…No reported benign oncocytomas recurred during approximately 21.2 months of followup. [2][3][4][5] The longest follow-up after complete resection without recurrence was 3.5 years in the case of a 76-year-old patient. 3 In summary, oncocytomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retrobulbar tumors near the lacrimal gland.…”

Oncocytoma arises from the ductal cell lining of apocrine glandular structures. It can occur in various organs such as the kidneys, adrenal gland, thyroid, and the ocular adnexa. Oncocytomas derived from the lacrimal gland are extremely rare. Although a MEDLINE search of the world literature from 1959 to the present found ten well-documented lacrimal gland cases, 1-5 no Asian case has been reported. We herein report a case of lacrimal gland oncocytoma located in the retrobulbar space. Case ReportA 64-year-old woman experienced frequent swelling of the right periorbital area over 7 years. Her right eyeball was mildly protruded and deviated to the nasal side. Exophthalmometry detected 3 mm of proptosis. Eye movement of the

To apply the updated epithelial salivary gland classification scheme to a large cohort of lacrimal gland tumors so as to provide an updated lacrimal gland tumor classification scheme. Methods: A retrospective multicenter cohort study of 118 cases of epithelial neoplasia was undertaken. Main outcome measures included pathologic analysis, subtyping, and survival. Results: Of 118 cases, 17 (14%) were reclassified using the proposed expanded classification scheme based on the current World Health Organization classification of salivary gland tumors. The most frequent neoplasms were pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma, of which we highlight more unusual histologic features. Three tumors were found to be unclassifiable with the updated scheme, with 2 having histologically malignant features. Deficiencies and variations in pathologic assessment were noted. Variation in the histologic findings of pleomorphic adenoma and assessment of the extent of invasion of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma were highlighted. Conclusions: The use of the more histologically diverse classification of salivary gland tumors can be successfully applied to the epithelial lacrimal gland neoplasms. This expanded classification system led to reclassifying 14% of cases. Currently, there are no consistent pathologic standards for processing and evaluating these lesions.
