Congenital dacryocystocele: case report and treatment
The dacryocystocele represents a rare congenital anomaly in the medial region of the orbit caused by distal obstruction (Hasner valve) and proximal (valve Rosenmüller) of the lacrimal system causing dilation of the lacrimal sac. Mucocele is called when the content is mucus and amniocele when the content is filled with amniótico fluid. The incidence is only 0.1% in children with nasolacrimal duc...

As a result, a diagnosis of congenital dacryocystocele was made. We present this case to show that it is important for a dermatologist to correctly identify congenital dacryocystoceles and appropria...

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital NLD cysts supports the argument for a developmental error, with a postnatal prevalence of 6%. The role of a genetic basis for this malformation has never been ascribed. We present a set of monozygotic twins with bilateral...

Epithelial tumors predominate with squamous cell carcinoma. We report a transitional cell carcinoma of the lacrimal sac and management course for the patient.
