Giant Bilateral Cysts of the Accessory Lacrimal Glands of Wolfring in a Child

Giant Bilateral Cysts of the Accessory Lacrimal Glands of Wolfring in a Child: Ductal cysts of the accessory lacrimal glands of Wolfring are rare clinical entities. They typically present as mobile and translucent lesions on the superior or inferior tarsal borders. Here, the authors describe a 7-year-old male child presenting with giant bilateral cysts of Wolfring. Management of such cysts is primarily surgical and the preferred route for excision is transconjunctival. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a bilateral Wolfring dacryops affecting a child.
