ABSTRACT
Lacrimal sac tumors are relatively rare and epithelial origin, mostly. The clinical menifestations of lacrimal sac tumors include epiphora, chronic dacrtocystitis, or lacrimal mass. Primary neurofibroma of lacrimal sac is benign nature and malignant transformation is rare. But malignant lacrimal sac tumors can be life-threatening; Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment are important. We reported an experience of a 37-year-old female who had epiphora, pruritis, lacrimal mass, and facial asymmetry. The patient was finally diagnosed with pigmented neurofibroma of lacrimal sac that was proven by dacryocystogram, CT scan, and histophthologic finding.
