Abstract

Three consecutive cases of lacrimal gland carcinoma seen at the University Hospital during a twelve-year period are presented. One case was unusual, presenting at the age of sixteen years and developing metastases to the lungs. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the commonest type of lacrimal malignancy and its clinico-pathological features and surgical management are discussed.
