Multilocular presentation is rare. [pocketdentistry.com]
This is a tumor of diverse histological and topographical presentation. The differential diagnoses are many and atypical presentations of this tumor are not uncommon. [panafrican-med-journal.com]
Clinical presentation [ edit ] The tumor is usually solitary and presents as a slow growing, painless, firm single nodular mass. Isolated nodules are generally outgrowths of the main nodule rather than a multinodular presentation. [en.wikipedia.org]
Age of presentation is about 40 years old, with a range of 6.5 to 80 years. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
Workup
Additionally, clinical workup should aim to exclude malignant neoplasms originating from the salivary tissue or malignancies that originate in the mucosal or cutaneous lining of the head and neck region but may exhibit contiguous or metastatic involvement [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment is complete surgical excision. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is characterized by recurrence and metastasis and has a very poor 20-year survival rate. [dentalcare.com]
The mainstay treatment for sarcoidosis and pseudotumor are corticosteroids, although more severe cases may require additional treatment with immunosuppressants. [4] The primary treatment of lacrimal gland tumors is surgical removal. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Selecting further treatment depends on many factors, including the specific cancer, prior treatment, site of recurrence, and individual patient considerations. [cancer.gov]
Prognosis

The prognosis depends upon the stage (extent of spread of the tumor) and microscopic grade. Low-grade tumors have a relatively good prognosis, but high-grade tumors have a prognosis similar to squamous cell carcinoma. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma [dentalcare.com]
Prognosis The prognosis of carcinoma ex PA depends on its extension. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
As known very well the cystic lesions have a better prognosis than the solid ones. For example Adenoid cystic carcinomas are graded based solely on pattern with solid components portending a worse prognosis [ 10 ]. [jcdr.net]

Complete resection of the lacrimal gland may prevent recurrences and later malignant transformation of some previously benign lesions. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
