“…Periocular cystic lesions are rarely reported in cats. They have been most commonly described in association with scleral staphylomas, 1 primary or secondary neoplasia, 2,3 foreign body granuloma, 4 nodular episclerokeratitis, 5 orbital fat prolapse, 6 congenital dermoid, 7 larval migration, 8 parasitic infection, 9 and cystic dilation of lacrimal tissue. 10 In veterinary literature, cysts associated with lacrimal tissues have been sporadically reported in dogs.…”
