Ann King Edward Med Uni Jan ;3(3):70-1.

This paper presents the clinical and pathological findings in 11 patients seen with primary tumours arising from the lacrimal gland. 5(45.5%) had adenocarcinoma, 4 (36.3%) Pleomorphic adenoma and 2 (18.4%) Acinic cell tumours. Benign tumours presented in a recognizable clinical manner with a painless mass in the region of lacrimal gland which slowly enlarged over a period of 1 year before consultation. Patients of adenocarcinoma had a short history with a painful mass in the lacrimal gland area. The method of treating the benign and malignant tumours is briefly discussed.
