We report a rare case of MALT-type lymphoma of the lacrimal gland in a 29-year-old woman. CT scan demonstrated a solid homogenous mass in the right lacrimal gland fossa and the palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland with contrast enhancement. The mass displayed slight hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images with fat saturation. The mass demonstrated an arc-like contour, and involved both the palpebral lobe and orbital lobe of the lacrimal gland. These characteristic findings may be helpful in the diagnosis of this malignancy.

This study aimed to investigate the expression of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) in the lacrimal gland and explore the effects of topical application of GLP-1R agonist (GLP-1RA) on lacrimal gland function in a murine model of type 1 diabetes. Tear secretion was evaluated using phenol red threads, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to explore gene expression profiles associated with hyperglycemia-induced lacrimal gland injuries, and histological analysis was conducted to evaluate the degree of damage. The expression of GLP-1R in the lacrimal gland was first identified and a downregulation trend associated with diabetes was observed.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) rarely occurs in the nasolacrimal duct (NLD), and when it does, it has nonspecific manifestations. To the best of our knowledge, one case of ACC in the NLD has been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a second case of ACC in the left NLD, concerning a man in his late 60s.

Neoadjuvant intraarterial cytoreductive chemotherapy (IACC) followed by multimodal therapy has achieved good locoregional control in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland. We reviewed our experience with neoadjuvant IACC followed by multimodal therapy for CXPA of the lacrimal gland.
