“…Only one patient, who was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, declined the proposed surgical treatment and opted for proton beam therapy. Notably, two years after treatment, the patient exhibited clinical improvement with no clinical or instrumental signs of persistent disease 31 . However, no long-term follow-up data are available, which could be of particular interest considering the specific histology of this case, characterised by a high probability of long-term recurrence.…”

SUMMARY A literature review was conducted to assess the role of minimally-invasive endoscopic treatments for lacrimal pathway neoplasms. The study involved the analysis of 316 patients with benign or malignant tumours affecting the lacrimal drainage system. Histologically, the analysis revealed a prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma, followed by lymphatic neoplasms and melanomas. In terms of treatment, minimally-invasive endoscopic approaches, such as endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, play a predominant role in managing early-stage tumours, rather than merely obtaining samples for histological analysis. For more extensive tumours, which constitute the majority of cases, more aggressive external approaches are required, along with the use of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The lack of universally shared staging systems poses a limitation in standardisation and comparison of results. Treatment of these tumours remains complex due to their rarity and histological heterogeneity. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to optimise outcomes.

“…Proton therapy has also been used with some success in case reports and small retrospective studies for treating cutaneous ACC of the cavernous sinus [ 22 ], eyelid [ 23 ], lacrimal gland [ 24 ], and nasolacrimal duct [ 25 ] with acceptable toxicity. Larger series are needed to determine the disease control rates and toxicity rates for comparison with other modalities.…”

Particle irradiation is suitable for resistant histologies owing to a combination of improved dose delivery with potential radiobiologic advantages in high linear energy transfer radiation. Within the head and neck, adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucosal melanoma are two such histologies, being radioresistant and lying closely proximal to critical structures. Here, we review the use of particle irradiation for adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucosal melanoma of the head and neck.
