Abstract
- Cysts of accessory lacrimal gland are rare. They are generally retension cysts that result from obstruction of the excretory duct and are found between the palpebral conjunctiva and the levator aponeurosis. We experienced three cases of subconjunctival cyst in the upper fornix. Histopathological examination showed the cysts lined by two layers and occasionally one layer of epithelium. These cysts seem to be originated from Krause's gland, considering their anatomical location and histopathological findings.
