Ectopic lacrimal gland causing intermittent proptosis

Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Unilateral proptosis secondary to ectopic lacrimal gland tissue is rare. The most common site of ectopic lacrimal gland tissue is at the bulbar conjunctiva and limbal area.

Identification of transcription factors that promote the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into lacrimal gland epithelium-like cells

npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease, 2017
Regenerative medicine: lacrimal gland epithelium in vitro One possible approach to treat dry eye diseases is to transplant lacrimal glands generated in vitro from human embryonic stem cells into patients.

Data supporting regulating temporospatial dynamics of morphogen for structure formation of the lacrimal gland by chitosan biomaterials

Data in Brief, 2017
The lacrimal gland is responsible for tear synthesis and secretion, and is derived from the epithelia of ocular surface and generated by branching morphogenesis.

A Ligation of the Lacrimal Excretory Duct in Mouse Induces Lacrimal Gland Inflammation with Proliferative Cells

Stem Cells International, 2017
The lacrimal gland secretes tear fluids to ocular surface, which plays an indispensable role in maintaining the health of the ocular epithelia and protecting the ocular surface from the external environment.

Lacrimal gland myxoma

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
Myxomas are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. Cases of conjunctival, corneal, and orbital myxomas have been reported in the literature; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report of a lacrimal gland myxoma. We report a case of an orbital myxoma involving the lacrimal gland and its management.

Anatomical and functional analysis of the orbital glands in the eye of the common myna, Acridotheres tristis. [PDF]

Assiut University Journal of Multidisciplinary Scientific Research
This study explored the structure and function of the orbital glands in the common myna (Acridotheres tristis). The species possesses two distinct glands associated with the orbit: the Harderian gland and the lacrimal gland, both of which produce ...

Alx4 relays sequential FGF signaling to induce lacrimal gland morphogenesis. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2017
The sequential use of signaling pathways is essential for the guidance of pluripotent progenitors into diverse cell fates. Here, we show that Shp2 exclusively mediates FGF but not PDGF signaling in the neural crest to control lacrimal gland development ...

The value of SPECT/CT imaging of lacrimal glands as a means of assessing the activity of Graves’ orbitopathy

Endocrine Connections, 2022
Background: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) is an autoimmune disease with mechanical impairment of orbital muscles and lacrimal gland dysfunction. The frequently used methods of assessing GO activity include Clinical Activity Score (CAS), CT, and MRI.

Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma of the Lacrimal Gland Secondary to Sjogren’s Syndrome

, 2014
Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease which can affect all exocrine glands, particularly the salivary and lacrimal glands, causing dryness of the mouth and eyes.
