Purpose:
To describe clinical, imaging findings, and management of dacryops cases.
Methods:
A retrospective chart review was performed to identify the patients diagnosed with dacryops over a 5-year period. The clinical features based on clinical findings, computerized tomography and ultrasonography, and observation and surgical excision results were noted when available.
Results:
We included 14 eyes of 14 patients. Seven (50%) were men with a median age of 48 years. The most common symptom was non-painful upper eyelid mass. All patients had the visible protruding cyst while eversion of the upper eyelid. Imaging studies, including orbital computerized tomography and ultrasonography were performed in six cases. Histological assessment of the excised cyst was done in two cases. Surgical excision was performed in five (36%) cases and observation was elected for nine (64%) cases. The median follow-up was 30 months. There was no recurrence of cysts in patients underwent surgery and the symptoms were not deteriorated in patients elected observation.
Conclusion:
Dacryops is a rare clinical entity that can be diagnosed easily with or without imaging methods. Surgical excision of the cyst could be curative and observation is also a safe method in selected cases.
