Spheno-Orbital Dermoid Masquerading as Recurrent Orbital Abscess
A 10-month-old girl presented with eyelid edema and erythema that did not improve with systemic antibiotics. Due to a lack of improvement, MRI was performed to avoid ionizing radiation from CT. An orbital abscess was recognized and drained. However, the abscess recurred 2 times. CT scan was performed and a tract in the sphenoid bone helped to diagnose a congenital dural sinus tract with dermoid. Definitive surgery was performed with neurosurgery to remove the entire tract including cutaneous connection. CT scan proved critical to diagnosis and should be considered in infants in select cases despite the concern for ionizing...

Chronic Early-Stage Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid
Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) represents an insidious, autoimmune-mediated disease of the conjunctiva, initially presenting as chronic conjunctivitis and progressing to fibrosis, cicatrization, and eventually blindness secondary to corneal keratinization. This series reports 3 cases presenting with chronic conjunctivitis lasting an average of 10 years without cicatrix formation, ultimately diagnosed as OCP based on direct immunofluorescence of conjunctival biopsy samples. This chronic conjunctivitis without fibrosis suggests the possibility of an OCP subtype with a prolonged early stage or prodrome prior to cicatriza...

Epibulbar Subconjunctival Apocrine Hidrocystoma
Apocrine hidrocystomas are benign cystic tumors derived from apocrine sweat glands; they are most commonly located in the skin of the head and neck regions. Ophthalmic occurrences characteristically appear at the lash line and canthi of the eyelid, although rare instances have been described in the conjunctiva, caruncle, and orbit. The authors describe an exceptional instance of a mobile epibulbar subconjunctival apocrine hidrocystoma in a 57-year-old woman without a history of previous ocular injury or surgery. Histopathology of the excised specimen displayed an empty cyst lined by a double layer of cuboidal epithelium wi...

Massive Orbital Infiltration and Trigeminal Enlargement in Churg-Strauss Syndrome Associated With IgG4 Plasma Cell Positivity
The association of C-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) vasculitis and IgG4 positivity is a new condition not well described in clinical terms. The authors examined a 28-year-old man with a previous diagnosis of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, formerly known as Churg-Strauss disease, who presented with bilateral orbital inflammation. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse orbital infiltration and enlargement of the major divisions of the trigeminal nerve. Biopsy of the orbital contents showed necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis and a high number of IgG4-positive plasma cells (IgG4/IgG = 60%). (...

Inadvertent Intraocular Soft Tissue Filler Injection During a Facial Enhancement Procedure
Iatrogenic needle penetrating ocular injuries are rare but can result in serious consequences. The authors report a case of inadvertent intraocular hyaluronic acid injection during esthetic periorbital facial enhancement. Visual field, visual evoked potential, and electroretinogram were used for monitoring potential side effects. (Source: Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery)

Orbital Lipofibromatosis in a Pediatric Patient
A 10-month-old boy presented with a 3-month history of progressive left lower eyelid swelling. Examination demonstrated left lower eyelid fullness and hyperglobus with a fatty appearing inferior fornix mass. Imaging showed a mass isointense to fat in the left lower eyelid extending posteriorly, surrounding the inferior oblique with complete fatty infiltration, obscuration of the inferior rectus, and adherence to the globe. The patient underwent orbitotomy with biopsy and debulking of the tumor. Surgical pathology showed multiple fragments of adipose tissue with foci of plump and spindle-shaped cells arranged in bundles and...

Metastatic Uterine Carcinosarcoma to the Orbit
Metastases of solid tumors to the eye and ocular adnexa are rare. Herein, the authors describe the clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical findings of a patient with a history of adenocarcinoma of the colon and a uterine carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed Müllerian tumor) who presented with proptosis and decreased vision. Positive staining with PAX-8, p16 and negative reaction for CK20 and CDX2 helped to establish the uterine origin of the metastasis. This rare case demonstrates the utility of immunohistochemical probes, especially in patients with a complex oncological history, where multiple primary sources of the me...

Eosinophilic Dermatosis of Malignancy Involving the Eyelid
A 72-year-old man with history of chronic lymphocytic lymphoma presented with a tender, ulcerated cutaneous eyelid lesion. Excisional biopsy revealed a diagnosis of eosinophilic dermatosis of malignancy. This rare paraneoplastic eruption is associated with hematologic malignancies and characterized histopathologically by lymphocytic infiltration accompanied by numerous eosinophils. To our knowledge, eosinophilic dermatosis of malignancy involving the eyelid has not been previously reported. (Source: Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery)
