Bilateral Marked Dacryops Following Trauma

Abstract

A 35 year-old man presented for evaluation of bilateral lacrimal fossa masses. He sustained left and right periocular trauma, eight months and five years prior to presentation, respectively. The patient had marked dacryops, left greater than right, which was confirmed by orbital CT. Surgical excision of the left dacryops was performed, and excision of the right sided lesion was deferred by the patient.
