Dacryoliths, or lacrimal stones, are rare. This study details a dacryolith removed from a patient with recurrent lacrimal drainage stenosis, revealing keratin and mineral components.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Dacryoliths are rare lacrimal stones with limited literature.
  • Recurrent stenosis of the lacrimal drainage system can be challenging to manage.

Observation:

  • A dacryolith was discovered and removed from the lacrimal sac during dacryocystorhinostomy in a patient with recurrent stenosis.
  • Histological and immunohistochemical analyses were performed on the removed dacryolith.

Findings:

  • Keratin antibodies were detected in the dacryolith.
  • Chemical analysis identified calcium, sulfur, and phosphorus as major constituents.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of dacryolith composition.
  • Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis and optimal management of dacryolithiasis.
