Abstract
Lacrimal gland tumors are rare and have therefore been only partially studied with standardized A-scan. We had the opportunity to examine an isolated amyloid tumor of both lacrimal glands prior to histological confirmation. The tumor’s echographic characteristics are described and an attempt is made to differentiate it from other lacrimal gland tumors.
