Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2014 May-Jun;30(3):e57-9. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0b013e31829bb43e.

Abstract

The authors report a case of papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland after irradiation for bilateral retinoblastoma. A 32-year-old man with a history of bilateral retinoblastoma, diagnosed shortly after birth, was treated with enucleation of the OS and a single session of radiation to the OD. Over 30 years later, he presented with an orbital mass of the right lacrimal gland that on biopsy demonstrated papillary cystadenocarcinoma.
