Preoperative VA, mid-hole diameter, and base-hole diameter are correlated with anatomic success in MH surgery. An excellent surgical prognosis exists for MHs with mid-hole diameter less than 500 microns and base-hole less than 1,000 microns.
A 17-year-old Caucasian man presented with an enlarging, painless mass causing a bulge in the lateral aspect of the left upper eyelid. An MRI demonstrated a well-circumscribed lacrimal gland mass without bony erosion. A 1-cm lacrimal gland mass was excised. The morphology and immunohistochemical findings were supportive of a soft tissue perineurioma. To the authors' knowledge, they present the first case report of a soft tissue perineurioma involving the lacrimal gland.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
