Abstract

Naso-lacrimal duct tumours are uncommon and present with epiphora and swelling. Since the naso-lacrimal duct is embedded in bone for the majority of its anatomical length, the late presentation of proptosis is due to orbital extension of the tumour. Radical surgical treatment is necessary to establish clear margins and facilitate reconstruction.
