Infantile simple dacryops: clinicopathological correlation and immunocharacterization.

Simple dacryops is a cystic lesion of the ductal structures of the palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland and is the commonest lacrimal ductal cystic lesion in adults. We report the case of an 18-month-old girl with a painless swelling of the right temporal upper eyelid that was first noted at 4 months of age. An early surgical excision was planned to avoid deprivational amblyopia. We describe clinicopathological and immunohistochemical correlations in our case, highlighting the immuno-characterization of adjacent lacrimal gland duct and acinar structures present within the cyst wall and management of this relatively rare entity.
