Abstract
Cyst formation can occur in any location where lacrimal gland tissue is present. A new classification is proposed based on these locations: palpebral lobe cysts (simple dacryops); orbital lobe cysts; cysts of the accessory lacrimal glands of Krause and Wolfring; and cysts of ectopic (choristomatous) lacrimal glands. The characteristic clinical presentation, histopathology, and treatment of these lacrimal ductal cysts is described.Entities:
