Abstract

A lacrimal gland cyst developed as a late complication of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. The mass produced mechanical ptosis and became secondarily infected. Obstruction of lacrimal secretions contributed to a quantitative tear deficiency and epithelial erosions of the cornea. The mass and the keratoconjunctivitis sicca were successfully managed by marsupialization of the cyst wall.
