While 9–15% of orbital tumors arise in lacrimal gland, inflammatory or infiltrative diseases—such as sarcoidosis, Wegener’s granulomatosis, IgG4 disease, or other (nonspecific) dacryoadenitis—comprise two-thirds of lacrimal gland masses and can present with signs and symptoms similar to tumors. Often a firm diagnosis can be reached only with tissue biopsy.

摘要

While 9–15% of orbital tumors arise in lacrimal gland, inflammatory or infiltrative diseases—such as sarcoidosis, Wegener’s granulomatosis, IgG4 disease, or other (nonspecific) dacryoadenitis—comprise two-thirds of lacrimal gland masses and can present with signs and symptoms similar to tumors. Often a firm diagnosis can be reached only with tissue biopsy.
