Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of pyogenic granuloma of the lacrimal sac. Case:A 86-year-old female presented with swelling in the left lacrimal sac region. She had been treated under the diagnosis of dacryocystitis with no improvement. Findings:Hyperemia and swelling was present in the left lacrimal sac area. Its size was 20 mm×15 mm. The lacrimal drainage system was obstructed. There was no backflow of blood or pus by compression. Computed tomography(CT)showed a homogenous lesion in the lacrimal sac area. Its size was 15 mm×8 mm. A tumor mass was found in the lacrimal sac after incision. The removed tissue showed proliferation of capillaries, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and no malignancy. The finding was diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma. Conclusion:This case illustrates that pyogenic granuloma may simulate chronic dacryocystitis.
