Br J Ophthalmol. 1988 Oct;72(10):793-5. doi: 10.1136/bjo.72.10.793.

Abstract

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is a distinct clinical entity, with ophthalmic involvement in 10% of patients. Orbital as well as eyelid lesions have been described as part of the extra-lymph node involvement of this disorder. We recently examined a young boy with sinus histiocytosis with a bulbar conjunctival mass and chronic dacryocystitis.
