Abstract:
BACKGROUND:We report a patient with a limited form of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) who presented with ocular changes and an eyelid ulcer in her left eye. CASE:A 56-year-old woman complained of ocular pain and discharge. Upon examination, we found evidence of ulcerative keratitis, a mass in the orbit, and an eyelid skin ulcer in her left eye. OBSERVATIONS:The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody test was negative, and systemic evaluations showed no specific changes. A biopsy specimen of the left orbit demonstrated necrosis, granulomatous inflammation, and vasculitis. A diagnosis was made of a limited form of WG, whilethe biopsy specimen of the left upper lid demonstrated granulomatous inflammation without vasculitis. CONCLUSION:Although the eyelid ulcer was contiguous with the orbital mass, histopathology showed they had distinctive pathological features.
