Objective: To investigate the differences in bone destruction, nerve invasion, and prognosis of lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (LGACC) among different histologic types and grades. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 30 cases of lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma confirmed by histopathology who were admitted to the Department of Ophthalmic Oncology, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from April 2010 to April 2019. The general data, imaging findings, histological examination and prognosis were collected and analyzed, with the focus on the relationship between the histological characteristics and the prognosis of lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma. Results: Among the 30 patients, 9 cases of cribriform type (30.0%); 10 cases of solid type (33.3%); 11 cases of mixed type (36.7%), including 4 cases of solid and glandular (13.3%), 4 cases of solid and cribriform (13.3%), 3 cases of cribriform and glandular (10.0%). The histopathological grade was I in 12 cases (40.0%), II in 4 cases (13.3%) and III in 14 cases (46.7%). There was statistical difference in the incidence of bone destruction among different histological types (P=0.046). There was no significant difference in the incidence of bone destruction among different histological grades (P=0.513).There was no significant difference between different histological grades and types and the incidence of nerve invasion and distant metastasis (all P>0.05). After surgery combined with radiotherapy, there was a statistical difference in the recurrence-free rate of different histological types, and the recurrence-free rate of solid type was the lowest within 36 months (P=0.037). Histological grade was not associated with recurrence-free rate after surgery combined with radiotherapy (P=0.059). Conclusion: The histological type of adenoid cystic carcinoma of lacrimal gland was significantly correlated with the incidence of bone destruction and recurrence rate, in which solid type was more likely to relapse. And the histological type was not associated with the incidence of nerve invasion or distant metastasis. Histopathological grade was not significantly associated with the rate of bone destruction, nerve invasion, distant metastasis, and recurrence.
