Summary: | The prevalence of tumours of the lacrimal duct system is very low (1.43%) (1). Tumours developing in this region cover a large spectrum of entities that fall into two categories: primary epithelial neoplasms and primary non-epithelial neoplasms. The typical symptoms of a dysfunction of the lacrimal duct system, such as epiphora, secretion, and swelling of the lacrimal sac, can be caused by stenosis or inflammation as well as by benign and malignant proliferative diseases of the tear duct system.
