Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma radiographically mimicking infiltration into the lacrimal gland

Orbit. 2023 Nov 30:1-4. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2287635. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common malignancy of the skin, with the potential for local invasion and metastasis. Here, we present a case series of two patients with SCCs, suggesting radiological infiltration of the lacrimal gland on magnetic resonance imaging. However, histopathological examination revealed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the lacrimal gland consistent with dacryoadenitis, with no evidence of SCC infiltration. Our cases highlight the potential for peritumoural inflammation to cause dacryoadenitis and radiologically mimic tumour infiltration into the lacrimal gland.PMID:38032726 | DOI:10.1080/01676830.2023.2287635
