Abstract
Purpose: To examine microscopically the distribution of the lymphatic channels in comparison with the blood vessels in the upper eyelid.
Methods: Central sagittal sections of 13 upper eyelids (8 right, 5 left) from 11 Japanese cadavers, aged 36 to 87 years old (average age: 66.6 years), were histologically examined. The specimens were fixed in 10% formalin. Staining with D2-40 for lymphatic channels and with the antibody for α-smooth muscle actin for blood vessels was utilized.
Results: The lymphatic channels were mainly distributed superficially, just under the skin, but the blood vessels were situated deeper, and diffusely spread throughout the upper eyelid.
Conclusion: The positional predispositions of the lymphatic channels and the blood vessels were different. The former is mainly superficial and the latter is deeper and diffuse.
