Unusual Subcutaneous Presentation of Cavernous Hemangioma in the Lower Eyelid: A complete translation from Farsi

Journal of Ophthalmic and Vision Research (JOVR) / April–June 2020, Volume 15, Issue 2 / Pages 236–239

Abstract

This article is based on a study first reported in Farsi in the Bina Journal of Ophthalmology, titled معرفی یک مورد همانژیوم کاورنوس پلک تحتانی, Volume 23, Issue 2 (Winter 2018) 2018/10/23. Original URL: https://binajournal.org/article-1-936-fa.pdf


Purpose: To report a patient with cavernous hemangioma (CH) presenting as a “subcutaneous” lower eyelid mass.


Case report: A 37-year-old man presented with a painless and palpable mass over the right lower eyelid for two years prior to referral. Computed tomography scan revealed a well-defined, lobulated mass located in the mid and lateral portion of the lower eyelid that extended posteriorly to the anterior orbital space. A transcutaneous excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologic findings of the tumor confirmed CH. Most CHs are intraconal lesions, making our case an unusual presentation for this condition.


Conclusion: CH may present superficially in the eyelid and anterior orbital area and thus, although this location is not common, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for any well-defined eyelid tumor.
