ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Canaliculocele is a rare cause of eyelid mass which is formed by dilation of the canaliculus. We introduce a case of canaliculocele treated with punctoplasty and marsupialization. CASESUMMARY:
A 35-year-old woman visited our clinic complaining of a right medial upper eyelid mass. It started 3 months ago and had the wax and wane feature. On slit lamp examination, cystic lesion was visible in the medial area of the right upper eyelid, and the punctum was obscure. Right upper canaliculus was not shown in dacryocystography. One-snip punctoplasty was performed for the diagnosis, and turbid contents were drained leading to collapse of the cyst. After diagnosis of canaliculocele, marsupialization was added by excision of the posterior wall of the mass. On histopathologic examination, the cystic wall was composed of nonkeratinized squamous epithelium with an attenuated superficial cell layer. The patient healed without recurrence of a cyst after 6 months of follow up.
