Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lacrimal gland is a rare aggressive malignant epithelial neoplasm. This tumor is rarely seen in children and adolescents. There is a paucity of studies describing the optimal treatment and prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the paediatric age group. Here, we report a case of lacrimal gland ACC in a 11-year-old girl treated with globe-sparing tumor resection and proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT).
