Bilateral tuberculous abscesses on the face (eyelids) of a child.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To report a rare case of tuberculosis with facial abscess. METHODS:A 4 1/2-year-old girl had an acute left upper eyelid abscess and a large, spherical tumescence involving the right upper eyelid, eyebrow, and forehead. The left upper eyelid abscess was drained, and the mass involving the right eyelid, eyebrow, and forehead was excised. RESULTS:Histopathologic and microbiologic examination established a human type of tuberculous mycobacterium as the cause of the bilateral facial lesions. CONCLUSION:Tuberculosis should be considered as a possible cause of abscess even when clinical features are not typical.
