title: Lacrimal sac tumors.
abstract: Tumors of the lacrimal sac are a rare entity in ophthalmology, but represent a potentially life-threatening situation that can easily be overlooked. This paper will review the literature and describe clinically and pathologically the more common types of lacrimal sac tumors, and give a description of the less common types of primary and secondary tumors of the lacrimal sac and a case presentation.
