A 13-year-old girl was admitted with a complaint of cyclic bleeding from the left inferior punctum with menstruation. Crusted hemorrhage was noticed in the tear meniscus of the left eye and just inferior to the left caruncle.

Nasolacrimal endometriosis is a rare ocular condition. Its management and histologic diagnosis remain challenging.
