Orbital lobe resection provides a definite diagnosis of XXXX : a report of three cases.

@entity1 @entity5123 @entity75 @entity5 @entity936 @entity1893 @entity4578
BACKGROUND: Entities of @entity75 comprise almost inflammatory and lymphoproliferative processes as well as benign and malignant solid @entity5 and usually cannot be differentiated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exclusively. Hence, representative tissue samples are needed to arrive at sufficient histopathological diagnosis for further treatment decisions. CASE REPORT: Three @entity1 aged between 18 and 67  years were admitted to our center with clinical signs of a space-occupying mass in the lacrimal fossa. MRI revealed a circumscribed lacrimal gland lesion in all three cases. The orbital lobe was resected through a lateral orbitotomy approach for histopathological evaluation. Findings confirmed the diagnoses of @entity5123 , @entity4578 , and low-grade B cell @entity1893 . Further surgery was not necessary. No recurrence or symptoms of " @entity936 " were observed over the course of a 1-year follow-up. 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 @entity936 are uncommon, and secondary surgical intervention can be avoided in cases of the presented entities. Further studies with larger @entity1 cohorts are warranted to confirm these findings.
