- The case involves a patient diagnosed with primary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma in the lacrimal sac, presenting as epiphora without a visible mass.
- Magnetic resonance imaging revealed thickening of the lacrimal sac's mucosal lining while the lumen remained open.
- After one month of immunotherapy, the patient's epiphora symptoms improved, confirmed by smooth syringing.
Article Abstract
We report a case of a primary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue of the lacrimal sac, which was found in a patient with epiphora without palpable mass. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated mucosal thickening of the lacrimal sac with a patent lumen, consistent with the intraoperative finding. Epiphora resolved, which was confirmed by smooth syringing, 1 month after starting the immunotherapy.
