Sarcoidosis of the ocular adnexa

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic multisystem disorder that commonly affects the lung, skin, lymph nodes, and eye. The ocular involvement ranges from 25% to 60%, with anterior uveitis being the most common ophthalmic manifestation in systemic sarcoidosis.1 Orbital and adnexal involvements are historically rare. The most common orbital manifestation is lacrimal gland involvement manifesting as dacryoadenitis.1 We present a rare case of sarcoidosis of the ocular adnexa in a man with clinical features suggestive of chronic dacryocystitis.
