| Summary: | Ductal cysts of the accessory lacrimal glands of Wolfring and Krause are uncommon and are rarely reported in the ophthalmic literature. We report a rare case of cyst arising from accessory lacrimal gland of Wolfring in a young male boy. A 17 year old male patient came with painless bulging mass under conjunctiva of lower fornix near medial canthus of right eye. It was gradually increasing since one year. Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) scan revealed 20×20×14 mm well defined smooth walled cyst. Cyst was removed under general anaesthesia through conjunctival route. Histopathological examination was consistent with cyst arising from accessory lacrimal gland of Wolfring. |
