AI Article Synopsis
- Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are benign tumors typically found in the superior orbital area and can occur in young adults, as seen in this case of a 25-year-old woman.
- A 6-month history of a painless mass in the left upper eyelid and proptosis led to imaging studies revealing a well-defined mass in the lacrimal gland region without affecting nearby bone.
- Excision biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of SFT with a positive result for signal transducer and activator of transcription 6.
Article Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are benign, spindle-cell tumors of mesenchymal origin that are usually seen in the superior orbital area in adults. We report a rare case of SFT in the lacrimal gland fossa that developed in a young female. A 25-year-old woman had a 6-month history of a progressive painless mass in the left upper eyelid accompanied by proptosis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an ovoid, demarcated mass with distinct margins in the lacrimal gland region without bone invasion. Excision biopsy with immunohistochemical study, specifically with positive signal transducer and activator of transcription 6, confirmed the diagnosis.

The human lacrimal gland (LG), located above the outer orbital region within the frontal bone socket, is essential in maintaining eye surface health and lubrication. It is firmly anchored to the orbital periosteum by the connective tissue, and it is vital for protecting and lubricating the eye by secreting lacrimal fluid. Disruption in the production, composition, or secretion of lacrimal fluid can lead to dry eye syndrome, a condition characterized by ocular discomfort and potential eye surface damage.

Pain management requires the identification of certain indicators to recognize pain. Various tools have been suggested to achieve an objective evaluation, including infrared thermography (IRT). The objective of this study was to assess the facial thermal nociceptive response produced by the use of cannabidiol (CBD) alone and in combination with meloxicam in female dogs undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy anesthetized with isoflurane.

Department of Orbit and Oculoplasty, Sankara Eye Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Purpose: To evaluate the lacrimal punctal changes in different age groups using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between January 2023 and January 2024 including healthy subjects between 20 and 80 years. The selected eyes from healthy patients were divided into four age groups (21-35 years, 36-50 years, 51-65 years, 66-80 years), and lower lacrimal puncta were analyzed using AS-OCT.
