PURPOSE: To report a case of canaliculops, a rare, non-inflammatory cystic dilatation of the lacrimal canaliculus, presenting with an unusual intermittent clinical course.
OBSERVATIONS: A 68-year-old woman presented with recurrent medial canthal swelling and episodic epiphora caused by a cystic lesion of the superior canaliculus. The lesion was successfully managed with marsupialization and bicanalicular intubation under endoscopic guidance. Histopathological examination revealed multilayered, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium without goblet cells, inflammatory infiltrates, or evidence of malignancy. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated positivity for CK14, supporting the diagnosis of canaliculops.
CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Most cases of canaliculops are idiopathic and exhibit a stable or slowly progressive course; however, some may present with intermittent symptoms. Increased awareness of this underrecognized entity may facilitate earlier diagnosis and appropriate management.
