Lacrimal collecting system lymphomas: Integration of magnetic resonance imaging and therapeutic irradiation

Lymphomas arising within the lacrimal collecting system are rare tumors and unusual causes of lacrimal obstructive symptoms. The presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease in five patients are described, as well as a review of the existing literature. Emphasized in this series is the eff...

Zusammenfassung:	Lymphomas arising within the lacrimal collecting system are rare tumors and unusual causes of lacrimal obstructive symptoms. The presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease in five patients are described, as well as a review of the existing literature. Emphasized in this series is the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging of these presentations and the importance of irradiation in their treatment.
