Abstract
Although ocular symptoms are not infrequently seen in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), direct tumor invasion into the orbital cavity is uncommon. Orbital invasion confined to the lacrimal apparatus is even rarer. We report a patient with recurrent NPC with anterior orbit/lacrimal apparatus invasion, who developed an anteromedial orbital mass at the medial canthus 5 years after the diagnosis of NPC. Epiphora occurred before the palpable orbital mass. Pathologic study proved the recurrence of NPC, and the patient subsequently underwent radiotherapy. The route of invasion remains obscure. We proposed the possibility of tumor invasion by means of tumor implantation via the nasolacrimal duct. The presence of epiphora or a mass at the medial canthus in a patient with previously treated NPC should prompt further study unless tumor recurrence in the nasal cavity or lacrimal apparatus is excluded.
