Fig. 1 (A) A 40-year-old female with metastatic lacrimal sac tumor. Note swelling of the left medial canthal area. (B) Axial and coronal views of gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted fat-suppressed magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a soft tissue mass in the left lacrimal fossa extending to the nasolacrimal duct. (C) Histological examination of the breast tumor revealed a malignant phyllodes tumor with marked stromal cellularity alternating with lower cellular area, nuclear pleomorphism, and stromal overgrowth (hematoxylin and eosin stain, ×100). (D) Histological examination of the metastatic phyllodes tumor in the lacrimal sac revealed a malignant stromal component with polygonal plump cytoplasm, nuclear pleomorphism, and necrosis without an epithelial component (hematoxylin and eosin stain, ×200). A written consent was obtained from the patient.
