title: Orbital lobe lacrimal ductal cyst.
abstract: Lacrimal ductal cysts are rare, especially in the orbit. A case of lacrimal ductal cyst in the orbital lobe, revealed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, is described in a 16-year-old man who was successfully treated by complete surgical excision. The radiologic and clinical features of this type of lacrimal ductal cyst are discussed.
