A Solitary Fibrofolliculoma in the Eyelid

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: To report the first case of a solitary eyelid fibrofolliculoma and to review the literature. Methods: A 37-year-old female patient visited the outpatient department with a lesion in the right upper lid that had been growing steadily for a year. The patient had visited the local clinic, and under the diagnosis of chalazion had received incision and curettage twice, but the lesion had recurred. Results: The 5×5 mm lesion was located near the upper lid margin. It was a red, hemispheric, smooth nodule, relatively solid to palpation and not painful. Excision and biopsy were performed, and through a histological exam, the diagnosis of fibrofolliculoma was later confirmed. Conclusions: Solitary fibrofolliculoma is rare, and to the authors` knowledge, a lesion arising in the eyelid has not yet been reported. Fibrofolliculoma should be included in the differential diagnosis when a localized mass lesion arising in the eyelid is encountered. Korean Journal of Ophthalmology 21(3):169-171, 2007
