  • Title: Dermoid cyst of the lacrimal gland.
    Author: Kiratli H, Bilgiç S, Sahin A, Tezel GG.
    Journal: Orbit; 2005 Jun; 24(2):145-8. PubMed ID: 16191806.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 33-year-old-woman with a recent onset of left upper eyelid swelling is described. Imaging studies demonstrated a cystic lesion in the left lacrimal gland fossa. Excisional biopsy of the mass showed a dermoid cyst entirely surrounded by a thin layer of normal lacrimal gland tissue. The authors present a highly unusual case of a soft tissue orbital dermoid cyst arising from the lacrimal gland.
