[Isolated eyelid involvement as a rare presentation of orbital pseudotumor]

ABSTRACT

To report a case of isolated eyelid pseudotumor. A 40-year-old man presented with swelling and erythema of the right upper eyelid of 4 months duration. Multiple topical and systemic antibiotics had been administrated without any response. Incisional biopsy and evaluation of the lesion disclosed a diagnosis of eyelid pseudotumor. Oral prednisolone was initiated and then tapered slowly on the basis of clinical response. After six months, the eyelid lesion disappeared totally. Isolated eyelid involvement is a rare presentation of inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid lesions
