To describe a case of lacrimal gland ductal cyst complicated by secondary infection.
Case report.
A 51-year-old woman presented acutely with an enlarging, painful mass in the superotemporal fornix. Clinical examination, echography, and surgical evaluation revealed a lacrimal gland ductal cyst with abscess formation. The lacrimal gland cyst was treated with oral antibiotics in combination with incision, drainage, and marsupialization.
Lacrimal gland ductal cysts are rare but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of lacrimal gland and upper eyelid mass lesions. Typically, lacrimal gland ductal cysts develop after chronic inflammation, infection, or trauma. We describe a patient who presented acutely with a lacrimal gland ductal cyst associated with a rare complication of abscess formation.
描述一例泪腺导管囊肿并发继发感染的病例。
病例报告。
一名51岁女性急性出现颞上穹窿部增大、疼痛性肿块。临床检查、超声检查及手术评估显示为泪腺导管囊肿并形成脓肿。泪腺囊肿采用口服抗生素联合切开引流及袋形缝合术治疗。
泪腺导管囊肿罕见,但在泪腺及上睑肿块病变的鉴别诊断中必须予以考虑。通常,泪腺导管囊肿在慢性炎症、感染或创伤后发生。我们描述了一名急性出现泪腺导管囊肿并伴有罕见脓肿形成并发症的患者。
