“…19 Due to the infrequency of dacryops, the literature primarily consists of isolated case reports – with few cases of childhood dacryops in the last decade and only one other presenting with upper lid ptosis. 4–10 The relevant clinicopathological details of reported cases of childhood dacryops are reviewed in Table 1. Despite the scarcity of pediatric dacryops, our case demonstrates the importance of considering lacrimal gland cysts in the differential diagnosis for pediatric patients who present with orbital masses.…”

“…1–3 The incidence of pediatric dacryops is unknown, with very few cases reported in the literature. 4–10 Lacrimal gland cysts in pediatric patients require heightened attention because of the risk of mechanical ptosis, astigmatism, diplopia, and ocular dystopia, which may lead to enduring amblyopia 1,3 Although the exact etiology of dacryops remains unknown, several predisposing factors have been proposed including periductal or chronic conjunctival inflammation, trauma, chemical injury, or ocular trachoma infection. 1,11–15 Herein, the authors report a 6-year-old male patient presenting with progressive left upper lid ptosis and fullness, found to have a large ipsilateral superotemporal orbital mass, ultimately determine to be a giant lacrimal gland cyst.…”

“…Histologically, the cyst is lined by double-layered and focally non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Occasional goblet cells are present in the inner cuboidal layer, surrounded by an outer myoepithelial layer [9] , [14] . The cyst wall consists of fibrous tissue with chronic inflammation, occasionally accompanied with areas of hemorrhage, increased vascularization, and dystrophic calcification.…”

Introduction Dacryops is a rare benign cystic lesion of the lacrimal gland often developing in the palpebral gland. The exact etiology of dacryops remains unclear. Diagnosis could be suspected clinically and established histopathologically. Treatment is commonly surgical. Presentation of case We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with past history of total conservative parotidectomy for a benign tumor 10 years ago. She presented to the Ophtalmology Department at Farhat Hached University Hospital of Sousse with a painful swelling of the left supero-external orbital angle. The patient underwent complete excision of the cyst using the conjunctival approach. Histopathological examination showed characteristic features of dacryops with foci of chronic inflammatory cell infiltrates. Discussion Dacryops is commonly seen in young adults or middle-aged individuals with a slight female preponderance. In some cases, cystic enlargement of dacryops can lead to mechanical ptosis, dystopia, limitation of extraocular movements, diplopia, and, in rare cases, blepharoptosis. However in this case, the patient was an elderly woman presenting a painless mass without ptosis. As in our case, excision using the conjunctival approach under microscope has excellent results without complications. Histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis and helps to rule out differential diagnoses. Conclusion As reported in the present case, histopathological examination confirms clinically recognized or suspected dacryops. If untreated, dacryops may lead to ptosis, proptosis and/or dystopia. Complete excision of the cyst is often curative.

“…Common to all three feline cases is their young age, 18month-, 9-month-, and 12-month-old, respectively. Cysts of the lacrimal orbital lobe, palpebral lobe, and accessory lacrimal glands have been reported in young human MAGGIO patients, 28,43,44 suggesting a congenital origin or an early developmental disorder. Given the young age of the cat in the present report, and the absence of any other clinical ocular signs, it is possible to presume a congenital anomaly of the ductules and their subsequent ectasia as the origin of the cysts.…”

Bilateral temporal dacryops in a cat

A 1‐year‐old Maine Coon female spayed cat was presented for a 7‐week history of bilateral pinkish masses located over the dorsotemporal conjunctival quadrants. Ophthalmic examination revealed the presence of bilateral temporal, slightly hyperemic, subconjunctival masses, fluctuant, and nonpainful. The remainder of the ocular examination was unremarkable. Ultrasound biomicroscopy and B‐scan ultrasonography confirmed the presence of a bilateral cavitated and tubular structure, extending within the temporal orbit, with anechoic fluid‐like content. Surgical removal was performed. Histopathology described the lesions as lacrimal gland tissue, markedly infiltrated by inflammatory cells, associated with cavitated structures filled with proteinaceous debris, and lined by flattened bilayered cuboidal epithelial cells. Bilateral adenitis of unknown origin and dacryops of the temporal lacrimal glands were diagnosed. Both surgical sites healed uneventfully, and no recurrence was reported on either eye during a 12‐month follow‐up period.
