Keratoconjunctivitis sicca following excision of a dermolipoma of the lacrimal gland
Ann Ophthalmol.
1978 Sep.
Abstract
A 20-year-old woman with subconjunctival mass of the superotemporal region of the globe was operated upon. The mass was found to be a dermolipoma of the lacrimal gland. The removal of the mass caused severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca, which could only be helped with frequent applications of artificial tears.
