Abstract:
A 22-year-old male presented with spontaneous unilateral hemolacria and was found to have complete opacification of the ipsilateral nasolacrimal sac and duct. Endoscopic biopsy with histopathologic analysis revealed the diagnosis of nasolacrimal lymphangioma. Additional management included nasolacrimal stenting, and there was no hemolacria recurrence or epiphora. This is the first report of a nasolacrimal lymphangioma and describes the vascular malformation as a potential cause of bloody tearing.
