Lacrimal Gland Tumors

Lacrimal gland tumors are abnormal growths that occur in the gland responsible for producing tears, located above the outer corner of the eye. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Symptoms may include swelling, discomfort, changes in vision, or excessive tearing. Diagnosing these tumors typically involves imaging tests and biopsies. Treatment options depend on the type and stage of the tumor and may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Early detection and management are crucial for improving outcomes and preserving eye function.
