Ann Diagn Pathol. 2003 Feb;7(1):31-4. doi: 10.1053/adpa.2003.50005.

Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lacrimal sac is a rare entity. We report a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising in the lacrimal sac of a 30-year-old man who presented with an inner canthal mass. To our knowledge this is the first example of the cytopathology of this neoplasm in this anatomic site.
