Primary Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma of the Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue of the Lacrimal Sac Found with Epiphora: A Case Report

Abstract: We report a case of a primary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue of the lacrimal sac, which was found in a patient with epiphora without palpable mass. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated mucosal thickening of the lacrimal sac with a patent lumen, consistent with the intraoperative finding. Epiphora resolved, which was confirmed by smooth syringing, 1 month after starting the immunotherapy.

“…[4][5][6][7][8] TA belongs to the group of ectomesenchymal tissue migration anomalies caused by the aberrant migration of neural crest cells through the branchial arch vessels during cardiogenesis. 9,10 Chromosomal abnormalities are detectable in 8.7% of cases of TA. Di George syndrome and 22q11 chromosome microdeletion were reported in more than 30-50% of cases.…”
