ABSTRACT

A 22 year old man presented with a left orbital lesion of insidious growth during 10 months and comfortless sensation. Pathologic Anatomy Division received an ovoid lesion of 4 × 2.5 × 2 cm which had multiple cavities of smooth wall at cut. Histologically the cysts were covered by cubic epithelium disposed in a single or double layer with a distinctive apocrine apical secretion. Chronic inflammation foci were identified in the wall.
Dacryops, also known as lacrimal duct cyst, is a rare entity with a two-step pathogenesis: the development of an osmotic gradient and an obstruction, both of them a consequence of an inflammatory process. The lesion can appear at the site of major lacrimal gland or at the accessory glands of Wolfring or Krause. Diagnosis is based on anatomical and histological findings.
