Abstract:
Two cases of acute dacryocystitis are described. Both cases manifested as a painful cystic tumor which enlarged suddenly with swelling of the involved cheek. The condition was quite similar to an infected epidermal cyst. The location of the tumor and an episode of epiphora are the characteristic features of this disease.
