Recurrent eyelid swelling initially diagnosed as chalazion was found to be a lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma. This case highlights the importance of thorough examination for persistent eyelid lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastics
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Chalazions, common eyelid inflammations, are typically treated with incision and curettage.
  • Recurrent or non-resolving chalazions warrant further investigation for underlying pathologies.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old female presented with a persistent right upper eyelid swelling.
  • Initial diagnosis of chalazion was made, with two failed incision and curettage attempts.

Findings:

  • Detailed examination revealed lacrimal gland involvement.
  • CT scan confirmed a tumor, later histologically identified as a pleomorphic adenoma of the palpebral lacrimal gland.

Implications:

  • Persistent or recurrent eyelid masses may indicate more serious conditions, such as lacrimal gland tumors.
