“…In humans, and in the ventromedial site of the orbit in dogs 12,20,21 dacryops is an uncommon benign cystic lacrimal gland tissue neoplasm. The exact etiology of dacryops remains unknown 22 . Cysts of ectopic glands have been reported to persist in some humans 18 and could be considered among animals in the present study as well, as there is no normal lacrimal gland tissue in the ventromedial orbital region.…”

“…Cystic structures associated with the secretory and excretory lacrimal tissues are uncommon and have been sporadically reported in dogs, [11][12][13][14][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] cats, 10,25 a red-ear slider, 26 horses, 27 and in human patients. [28][29][30][31][32][33] In the physician-based literature dacryops refers to an ectasia of the lacrimal gland ductal tissue 34 and can arise anywhere lacrimal tissue is present. A first classification of this disorder has been described by Duke-Elder 35 in 1974 and was later modified by Bullock 28 in 1986.…”

“…Dacryops usually occur unilaterally [12,13] , but they have rarely been shown to occur bilaterally [14,15] . The upper eyelid is more commonly involved (70.8%) than the lower eyelid, likely due to the fact that there are more ducts in the upper eyelid [8] .…”

“…The etiology of WD is unclear, and it has been hypothesized that conjunctival scarring (from previous trauma, infection, or chronic inflammation) or IgA hypersecretion may contribute to its formation [10][11][12]21] . A review of the literature by Galindo-Ferreiro estimates that up to 85% of dacryops have been linked to previous conjunctival scarring [11] .…”
