Orbital lobe resection provides a definite diagnosis of lacrimal gland lesions: a report of three cases

Conclusion In cases of non-specific masses in the lacrimal gland on MRI, histopathological diagnoses are vital and can be sufficiently provided by resection of the orbital lobe. Symptoms of dry eye are uncommon, and secondary surgical intervention can be avoided in cases of the presented entities. Further studies with larger patient cohorts are warranted to confirm these findings.
