Discoid lupus erythematosus of the eyelids associated with staphylococcal blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction

CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL DERMATOLOGY, Issue 1 2006
P. Ena
Summary Lower eyelid involvement occurs in 6% of patients with discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Eyelid lesions are rarely the initial manifestation of DLE. We describe a 25-year-old woman presenting with discoid lesions of the lower eyelids, staphylococcal blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction, who later developed a discoid lesion on the chin. Histopathological and immunofluorescence studies of a biopsy specimen from this lesion established the diagnosis of DLE. We are unaware of any previously reported cases of DLE presenting with discoid eyelid lesions associated with staphylococcal blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction. DLE should be considered as a differential diagnosis in chronic blepharitis that persists despite usual medical management and eyelid hygiene. Misdiagnosis may lead to eyelid margin deformities, necessitate a complicated full-thickness biopsy, and delay diagnosis of systemic lupus. [source]

Eyelid metastasis from lung carcinoma

Abstract A 74-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of swelling in the right upper lid. Biopsy of the lesion showed moderate to poorly differentiated invasive squamous cell carcinoma. He was recently diagnosed with squamous carcinoma of the lung with similar histology to the eyelid lesion. Eyelid metastases are a rare presentation of lung tumours. [source]

Topical therapy with imiquimod for eyelid lesion

CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL OPHTHALMOLOGY, Issue 2 2006
Hughie Hc Tsang MB BS
Abstract Herein a case of clinically diagnosed lower eyelid lesion treated with topical imiquimod is reported. Macroscopic resolution of the lesion occurred 4 weeks after treatment with good cosmetic result. This is the first reported successful case of using this drug in treating eyelid lesion involving the lid margin. [source]

Eccrine poroma of the eyelid

CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL OPHTHALMOLOGY, Issue 4 2001
Phung P Vu MBBS
ABSTRACT A clinicopathological case report of a 71-year-old Caucasoid man with an unusual right lower eyelid lesion, which proved to be an eccrine poroma, is presented. Benign eccrine poromas have not previously been reported to occur on the eyelid. Complete surgical excision of this lesion proved to be curative, with no recurrence after 3 years follow up. Eccrine poromas are common benign tumours of the intraepidermal sweat duct unit. Sweat glands occur commonly on the eyelids and eccrine poroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid tumours. [source]

Ultrasound biomicroscopic appearances of eyelid lesions at 50 MHz

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ULTRASOUND, Issue 8 2007
Mandeep S. Bajaj MD
Abstract Purpose. To correlate the ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) appearance of eyelid lesions with the results of histopathologic examination. Methods. Fifty-two patients with eyelid lesions were evaluated using 50-MHz UBM, and the UBM scans were compared with the histopathologic findings. The obscuration of the normal lid sonographic layers and invasion into adjacent tissues were criteria suggesting malignancy. Results. UBM characteristics of different eyelid lesions are presented. The sensitivity of UBM in detecting malignancy ranged from 78% to 86%, whereas the specificity ranged from 37% to 69%. Conclusion. This study of eyelid lesions shows that UBM can help differentiate between various benign and malignant lid lesions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2007 [source]

Discoid lupus erythematosus of the eyelids associated with staphylococcal blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction

Ocular manifestations of molluscum contagiosum

CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL OPTOMETRY, Issue 6 2006
Muriel M Schornack OD FAAO
Purpose:, Two cases of molluscum contagiosum (MC) are presented to illustrate the range of potential anterior segment complications of this condition. Methods:, Clinical records for two patients diagnosed with MC are retrospectively reviewed. Diagnosis and management of both cases are presented. Results:, The first patient demonstrates a classic presentation of ocular MC. The patient was young and had several dermal lid lesions at the time of presentation. The second case represents a less common presentation. The patient was an adult and had a single lid lesion that was not apparent at the initial examination. Both patients had follicular conjunctivitis that resolved with excision of the concomitant eyelid lesions. Conclusion:, MC is a treatable cause of chronic conjunctivitis or keratoconjunctivitis. Eye-care providers should be mindful that MC could present as a follicular keratoconjunctivitis with or without obvious dermal lid lesions. The possibility of immuno-compromise must be considered in patients with multiple large lesions, cutaneous lesions that do not respond to standard therapy, or recurrent lesions. [source]
