To report a rare case of dacryops found within the lacrimal sac, which mimicked a lacrimal sac tumor.
An adult female patient presented with epiphora and chronic swelling of the lacrimal sac, initially raising concerns for a possible lacrimal sac tumor. Imaging revealed a well-defined cystic lesion with a patent lacrimal drainage system. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a lacrimal gland cyst (dacryops) within the lacrimal sac.
This case highlights the rare occurrence of lacrimal gland tissue within the lacrimal sac, a location that has eluded prior definitive descriptions in the literature. Recognition of this condition is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and management, as it can mimic more serious pathologies such as a lacrimal sac tumor.
报告一例罕见的泪囊内泪腺囊肿病例，该病例曾被误诊为泪囊肿瘤。
一名成年女性患者出现溢泪及泪囊慢性肿胀，最初怀疑可能是泪囊肿瘤。影像学检查显示一个边界清晰的囊性病变，泪道引流系统通畅。组织病理学检查证实泪囊内存在泪腺囊肿（泪腺囊肿）。
该病例凸显了泪囊内出现泪腺组织这一罕见情况，此前文献中尚无对此部位的确切描述。认识到这种情况对于正确的诊断和治疗至关重要，因为它可能会被误诊为更严重的病变，如泪囊肿瘤。
