title: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the superonasal conjunctival fornix.
abstract: The case of a 32-year-old female with a mass in the superonasal conjunctival fornix is described. Histological examination revealed an adenoid cystic carcinoma, which we consider to be most likely derived from an accessory lacrimal gland. The clinical presentation, histological features, management and follow-up are described. A literature review of orbital adenoid cystic carcinoma arising outside the main lacrimal gland is presented.
