“…However, there have been reported cases of primary orbital ACC without lacrimal gland involvement in the literature. Four cases involved the orbital apex with intracranial extension [3] , [7] , [8] , [9] , two cases involved the medial orbit [10] , [11] , and one case involved the inferior orbit [12] . The diagnosis of ACC in these cases with the lack of the exact origin of the tumor in relation to the LG is challenging since these cases might have atypical clinical presentation.…”

“…Orbital ACC commonly arises from the lacrimal gland, However, a small number of cases of primary orbital ACC without lacrimal gland involvement have been reported. Five cases involved the orbital apex with intracranial extension [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , 2 cases involved the medial orbit [ 7 , 8 ], and 1 case involved the inferior orbit [9] .…”

“…Orbital ACC is rare, most commonly originating from the lacrimal gland. Primary orbital ACC without lacrimal gland involvement has only been described in a small number of reports to our knowledge [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] . We report a case of right orbital ACC without macroscopic lacrimal gland involvement showing skull base invasion and intracranial extension.…”

“…Bilateral tumors are rare, but occasional cases are reported. 3,15 Both diseases clinically present with an eyelid mass, ptosis, exophthalmia, eye movement disorder, and pain. The most common primary site within the orbit for ACC is the lacrimal gland.…”

“…Lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (LGACC) accounts for 25%-40% of lacrimal epithelial neoplasms and 4.8% of orbital neoplasms. [1][2][3] Patients have a poor prognosis and are prone to relapse and early metastasis after active treatment. 4,5 It has been reported that the overall tumor-related mortality of LGACC is 10%-87%, and the incidence of distant metastasis is 16%-40%.…”

Purpose: To analyze the differences in clinical features, treatment methods, prognosis, and etiological factors between lacrimal gland, adenoid cystic carcinoma (LGACC), and orbit adenocarcinoma. Material and Methods: All cases of LGACC and orbit adenocarcinoma between 1975 and 2016 were obtained from the US National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Results: The 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates for 118 LGACC cases were 82.2%, 70.2%, and 51.7%, respectively. The 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS rates for 29 orbit adenocarcinoma cases were 76.3%, 51.2%, and 51.2%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall survival rate between LGACC and adenocarcinoma (P=0.566). Univariate analysis showed that the proportion of deaths was higher with increased age and year of diagnosis in LGACC (P=0.010 and P=0.000), while the death rate was higher for poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (P=0.020). The survival rate for LGACC was lower in patients ⩾60 years of age than in those <60 years of age (P=0.035). There was no significant difference in survival rate between adenocarcinoma patients ⩾60 years and <60 years old (P=0.102). There was no significant correlation between the degree of tumor differentiation and the survival rate for LGACC or adenocarcinoma (P=0.401 or P=0.098, respectively). Conclusion: There is no significant difference in prognosis between LGACC and adenocarcinoma. The degree of tumor differentiation is not associated with prognosis for either LGACC or adenocarcinoma.
