Benign fibrous histiocytoma of the lacrimal sac
Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a tumor of mesenchymal origin, mostly seen in subcutaneous tissues, and it commonly affects males with a mean age of 55 years. We report a 60-year-old with lacrimal sac swelling that was recurrent. Initially, it started as the size of a black-eyed bean seed, which gradually progressed to the size of a small-sized peewee egg. She had complete excision of the mass with no bony erosions or intracranial extension. Histopathology revealed a BFH of the lacrimal sac. She is currently doing well.
