[Epidermoid carcinoma of the lacrimal sac after acute post-traumatic dacryocystitis].
A 58 year old man underwent a facial trauma and developed, after several months, an acute dacryocystitis. A DCR procedure was performed but a pericystitis pursued its course for 6 years though a good patency of the lacrimal flow. The patient was reviewed with deep, large, solid and painless mass. A pathological examination showed a squamous cells carcinoma scattered around the lacrimal sac and through the previous DCR. An enlarged exenteration was performed.
