Figure

  • Fig. 1 (A,B) Computed tomographic dacryocystography (DCG) demonstrates an ovoid soft tissue mass (arrowhead) anterior to the lacrimal passage (arrow) in the lacrimal sac fossa (case 1). (C) DCG reveals a filling defect in the lacrimal sac without passage disturbance of the dye (arrow) (case 1). (D) The wall of the cystic mass is lined with pseudostratified columnar and cuboidal epithelium (arrowhead), which is infiltrated with inflammatory cells, sharing with the normal lacrimal sac (arrow) (H&E, ×100; case 1). (E) A soft tissue mass is shown in the lacrimal sac fossa with bony remodeling. The dacryocystographic dye (arrow) is deviated anteriolaterally by the cystic mass in the lacrimal sac (case 2). (F) DCG showed a deviated lacrimal sac (arrow) by a space-occupying filling defect on the left side (case 2).
