Title | Case report: A patient with eyelid and anterior orbital Myeloproliferative hypereosinophilic syndrome |
Purpose | The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical- and histopathological discrepancy of the inflamed eyelid/anterior orbital mass features. |
Methods | Case report |
Results | The clinical picture revealed an erythemaous eyelid-skin inflamed mass without effect on local and general antibiotic treatments. The histopathological “diagnose was made as “chalazion material”. However the mass was superior located from the tarsus pre- and intraseptal with a lot of eosinophilic cell in the pathological material; where the patient already was known with a pulmonal myoblastic hypereosinophilic disease and treated with hydrea with the extra feature of a red face. |
Conclusion | Knowledge of the systemic disease of a patient and the precise location of a pathologic ophthalmic process is important to make the definitive diagnosis. In difficult processes it is always necessary that pathologist and ophthalmologist consulted each other and made together the end conclusion |
