[Adrenodacryolith].
In a 67-year-old woman a dacrocystorhinostomy had to be performed because of dacryostenoses. At operation a black adrenodacryolith was found from by topical adrenalin treatment for chronic simple glaucoma. The mineralogical and histological examinations revealed that the dacryolith consisted of organic material only.
