Purpose of review The goal of this article is to offer an update on the treatment and prognosis of the most common epithelial tumors of the lacrimal gland, report on new pathological entities and offer a review of the classification of lacrimal gland tumors. Recent findings Improvements have been made in the understanding of lacrimal gland lesions with the knowledge that lacrimal gland tumors compare to the more common counterparts of the major salivary glands. Therefore, the WHO's…

An Update on Tumors of the Lacrimal Gland.
TLDR
An update on the clinical, radiological, histological, and molecular features, along with treatment strategies for tumors of the lacrimal gland are presented.
Adenocarcinoma of Lacrimal Gland Non Otherwise Specified - A Case Report
TLDR
An update on these different tumor types with regard to their clinical presentation, histolopathology findings, imunohistochemica results and the best state treatment strategies for this rare tumor and more heterogeneous group of diseases is presented.
Clinicopathologic Review of Epithelial Tumors of the Lacrimal Gland
TLDR
The incidence of PA was significantly higher in this study than reported in the Caucasian population and among malignant tumors, ACCs were the most common, although rare tumors were also identified.
Epithelial tumours of the lacrimal gland: a clinical, histopathological, surgical and oncological survey
TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to describe the various primary epithelial tumours of the lacrimal gland and the frequency, demographics, clinical presentation and diagnostic features are described.
Primary Adenocarcinoma of the Lacrimal Gland
TLDR
A case of a patient with rare disease of primary adenocarcinoma originating from the lacrimal gland, which resulted in wide surgical excision of the tumor with orbital bone resection and eyeball enucleation, followed by radiotherapy and anti-cancer treatment.
Management of Lacrimal Gland Carcinoma: Lessons From the Literature in the Past 40 Years
TLDR
A review of literature suggests that treatment strategies for adenoid cystic carcinoma of lacrimal gland are varied, but local control does not necessarily prevent future delayed distant relapse, and multi-institutional studies and consistent reporting of size and histologic type of tumors in the literature may be prudent.
Epithelial lacrimal gland tumors: A comprehensive clinicopathologic review of 26 lesions with radiologic correlation
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland is frequently characterized by MYB rearrangement
TLDR
FISH for MYB rearrangement may be used as a diagnostic tool during pathological examination of lacrimal gland neoplasms and may provide a platform for molecular-targeting strategies in the future.
Lacrimal gland Neoplasms: A 10 Year Retrospective Study
TLDR
Histopathological examination in addition to clinical and radiological findings aids in the accurate diagnosis and rational management of lacrimal gland neoplasms and provides an insight into the malignant potential and prognosis of the tumor.
Single bone metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland: a case report.
TLDR
The case of a 71-year-old man with a history of lumbar pain and left exophthalmos, who would appear to have a better prognosis and the disease a more indolent clinical course than the other cases of ductal adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland reported in the literature.

Review: primary epithelial malignancies of the lacrimal gland: the 2003 Ramon L. Font lecture.
TLDR
The purpose of this report is to provide an update on PEMLG, with emphasis on the more recently recognized neoplasms and current trends in the treatment of PemLG.
Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland.
Primary cystadenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland.
Primary ductal adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland.
Primary malignant neoplasms of the lacrimal gland.
TLDR
The rate of disease-free survival after treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma appears unaltered by cranio-orbital resection, though these latter patients form a relatively greater proportion of those surviving for more than 10 years, though further long-term follow-up is needed to see if this technique does influence survival.
Fibrous histiocytoma of the lacrimal gland.
TLDR
A case of a benign fibrous histiocytoma of the lacrimal gland in an 11 year old girl who presented with painless, progressive eyelid swelling and mild proptosis is reported.
Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland: is there a role for biopsy?
TLDR
There is no clear evidence to support the claim that biopsy increases the risk of recurrence or of malignant transformation of LGPA, and preoperative biopsy should be considered in all lacrimal gland mass lesions and management should be tailored to the biopsy findings.
Atypical Presentations of Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Lacrimal Gland
TLDR
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common epithelial tumor of the lacrimal gland and complete surgical excision of the lesion within its pseudocapsule is recommended to prevent local recurrences and, although less likely, the possibility of malignant transformation.
Surgical Management of Locally Advanced Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Lacrimal Gland
TLDR
Orbitectomy with bone removal may be indicated for achieving local and regional control in advanced cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland, but this surgery does not decrease the risk of distant metastasis.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary and lacrimal gland origin: localization, classification, clinical pathological correlation, treatment results and long-term follow-up control in 84 patients.
TLDR
The TNM classification and the analysis of histopathological subtypes provide some information on the tumor biology and the prognosis is uncertain in ACC.
