Abstract:
Pyogenic granuloma of the eyes usually occurs after ocular surgery or inflammation related to the eyes, itself. This
lesion is commonly related to procedures associated with chalazia, strabismus, or even enucleation. However, the
incidence of pyogenic granuloma that arises directly from the lower canaliculi of the nasolacrimal system is rare and
not being extensively reported. We report a case of an elderly lady who presented with pyogenic granuloma post
EDCR with silicone stenting for left nasolacrimal duct obstruction. She presented with persistent left eye epiphora
following procedure. The unusual site for pyogenic granuloma and it occurrence after EDCR raise the possibility that
the condition is related to previous procedure and the material being used.
