Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • The case involves a 47-year-old male patient with a history of secondary hepatocarcinoma (liver cancer).
  • The patient presented with a significant lesion on the lower eyelid.

Observation:

  • The lower eyelid lesion was characterized by necrosis and hemorrhage.
  • The patient had a one-year history of liver cancer.

Findings:

  • An excision biopsy was performed on the eyelid lesion.
  • Histological examination identified fungal spores, with Candida albicans being a possibility.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential opportunistic fungal infection in an immunocompromised patient with hepatocarcinoma.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of such infections are crucial in cancer patients.
