Abstract
Mucoepidermoid tumor of the lacrimal sac is exteremely rare. To our knowledge, there have been 4 cases reported in the literature and no case was reported in Korea. We have experienced a 77-year-old male patient complaining of epiphora and medial canthal area mass of 5-month duration in the right eye. On biopsy findings, many cystic structures containing mucin were seen, of which wall consisted of neoplastic mucin-secreting cell components and small nests of epidermoid cells. The diagnosis of mucoepidermoid tumor was made.
Key Words: Mucoepidermoid;Lacrimal
