| Abstract;A 71-year-old woman presented with a tumor in the upper temporal eyelid in her left eye. She had been wearing hard contact lens until 15 years before. She had lost the contact lens a few times. When the tumor was surgically removed, a hard contact lens was found within the tumor mass. Histopathological studies showed the tumor to be a retention cyst originating either from the lacrimal duct accessory lacrimal glands. It appeared that the apparently lost contact lens remained in the conjunctival sac and migrated into the subconjunctival tissue and that it induced cyst formation by occluding the lacrimal duct or accessory lacrimal glands following chronic inflammations.
