title: [Analysis of a dacrolith ].
abstract: Dacryoliths are uncommon and there are only a few reports in the literature. In a patient with recurrent stenosis of the lacrimal drainage system a lacrimal stone (dacryolith) was removed from the lacrimal sac during dacryocystorhinostomy. A histological and immunohistochemical examination was performed and keratin antibodies could be detected. In a chemical analysis calcium, sulfur and some phosphorus were determined as major constituents.
