Six cases of adnexal cysticercosis, (1 in the lacrimal gland, 3 orbital, and 2 palpebral) have been reported. In the lacrimal gland it presented as a painless, translucent cyst which closely simulated a simple dacryops. In the orbit, two of the cases presented as an acute abscess in the upper and inner quadrant. However, one of them initially presented and existed as a case of simple ptosis for a period of 8 months. The third orbital case appeared as a painless cyst in the upper and outer quadrant. In the lid the larva presented as a subcutaneous nodule in one case and in the other it was lodged in the orbicularis oculi muscle. The cyst was surgically removed in all cases and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. Lodgement of cysticercus cyst in the lacrimal gland and in the orbicularis oculi muscle is reported for the first time.

A 45-year-old man and a 21-year old man presented with palpable lacrimal gland fossa masses and mechanical ptosis and proptosis, respectively. Computed tomography demonstrated well-circumscribed, partially cystic tumors. Echography in one case showed a well-outlined, predominantly low-reflective lesion with cysts and moderate vascularity detected by Doppler flow and standardized A-scan studies. Histopathology of the excised tumors revealed them to be CD34 antigen-positive hemangiopericytomas, in one case associated with lacrimal gland ductal cysts (dacryops) and with cyst-like spaces containing proteinaceous exudate in the other. No recurrence was found at 14 and 30 months, respectively. Although uncommon, hemangiopericytomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of lacrimal gland tumors. Orbital ultrasound revealing vascularity may be a useful adjunct in this diagnosis. Cystic degeneration or dacryops due to tumor infiltration and compression of lacrimal gland ducts may occur.

A case of congenital lacrimal cyst or dacryops of the lacrimal gland in an 8-month-old Neapolitan Mastiff dog is reported. The dog presented with a swelling dorsolateral to the left globe, which had been present since birth. In addition, hyperplasia and prolapse of the superficial gland of the left nictitating membrane, and bilateral macropalpebral fissure and 'diamond eye' conformation were apparent. On manual eversion of the upper eyelid, a subconjunctival mass was visible that was translucent and pink and affected the upper conjunctival fornix. B-mode ultrasonography revealed the presence of an echolucent thin-walled cystic structure measuring 15 by 12 mm and containing an echodense border and a distended tubular fluid-filled structure that extended posteriorly. A viscous and transparent fluid was aspirated from the lesion. Surgery was performed to excise the lesion, reposition the nictitans gland, and correct the morphology of the palpebral fissure. Histopathology confirmed the mass to be a cyst and distended duct of the lacrimal gland. Although tear secretion was compromised, resection of the cyst was curative.
