Rationale:
Sporotrichosis is the most common subcutaneous mycosis. It is caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii. Ocular sporotrichosis is uncommon and has been rarely reported.
Patient Concerns:
We describe a 34-year-old female who presented with a nodule increasing in size near the medial angle of the left eye. Originally, she was misdiagnosed with a dacryocyst space-occupying lesion, and the lesion was removed by surgery.
Diagnoses:
Findings of fungal structures in the histopathological examination contributed to the diagnosis of Sporothrix dacryocystitis. Further culture of conjunctival secretions and contact lens storage solution was positive for Sporothrix.
Interventions:
She was treated with oral itraconazole, 200 mg by mouth twice daily.
Outcomes:
After 3 months of treatment with oral itraconazole, culture of the conjunctival secretions was negative.
Lessons:
It is of paramount importance to clinically suspect mycosis, even in unusual locations or in the absence of the typical epidemiological history.

01:16Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

01:07z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
01:07What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
