Upper lid subconjunctival triamcinolone appears to be an effective treatment option in reducing lid retraction in patients with recent onset of thyroid eye disease.

Chronic dacryoadenitis and lymphoproliferative disorders are the two commonest causes of lacrimal gland lesions in our series. Although many cases remain non-specific, about 60% have a specific inflammation that may be associated with a systemic disease. As one third of our patients with lymphoproliferative disease of the lacrimal gland had an associated systemic lymphoma, patients with such lesions should be referred for investigation of possible systemic lymphoma. The results of our study can aid in providing a more targeted approach to patient management.
