Primary conjunctival epithelial cyst of the orbit

Abstract

A conjunctival epithelial cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass in the anterior portion of nasal or superonasal orbit.

Dumbbell-Shaped Congenital Conjunctival Cyst Of The Orbit

“…[3][4][5][6]8 Of the 54 cases in the literature we reviewed, only 1 had bone destruction. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In this case, a recurrent cyst in the superolateral orbit was associated with frontal bone destruction. 2 A dumbbell-shaped cystic lesion in the orbital-temporal region is primarily suggestive of a dermoid cyst.…”

Clinical study of histologically proven conjunctival cysts

“…However in two young females cysts were located in the temporal quadrant, out of these one cyst was large enough to cause limitation of movements in abduction. Pathogenesis of primary inclusion cyst is due to excessive invagination of the caruncular epithelium or the fornix during embryonic development 4 . Age of presentation of these cysts range from birth to 70 years, typical clinical features consists of painless cystic masses of small to moderate size.…”

Orbital extraskeletal osteosarcoma following enucleation in a cat: a case report

“…Human ophthalmologists consider conjunctival cysts unusual sequelae to enucleation surgeries 23–27 . Cyst walls consist of variably thick nonkeratinizing stratified squamous epithelium, without goblet cells, enveloped by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue 23 .…”

“…Human ophthalmologists consider conjunctival cysts unusual sequelae to enucleation surgeries. [23][24][25][26][27] Cyst walls consist of variably thick nonkeratinizing stratified squamous epithelium, without goblet cells, enveloped by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue. 23 McCarthy et al suggest three mechanisms that are consistent with the development of a conjunctival cyst in this cat's eye.…”
