What is your target volume when treating lymphoid hyperplasia of the lacrimal gland with radiation therapy?
Would you cover the lacrimal gland alone or the entire orbit?

Agree with treating the lacrimal gland only. For a symptomatic, polyclonal reactive lymphoid infiltrate unresponsive to less aggressive treatments, I think low-dose RT is reasonable. I would give 2 Gy X 2.

Good question! I believe, it is safe to treat the gland only. However, the ILROG guidelines suggest to treat the entire orbit. Yahalom et al., PMID 25863750
