摘要:

PurposeTo describe two patients with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) and to review the literature on this disorder.MethodsBrain and orbit CT scans were performed on two patients with ECCL. Both patients were examined by the same ophthalmologist and neurologist during at least a 2-year follow-up period.ResultsUnilateral skull hamartomas, intracranial abnormalities, epibulbar choristomas, and ocular adnexal changes including a specific form of cicatricial upper eyelid retraction were present in both patients.ConclusionsECCL is a special form of oculocerebrocutaneous disease that has significant adnexal findings that are essential for the diagnosis of this rare disorder.

摘要:

PurposeTo report a case of gastrointestinal sarcoma with leiomyosarcomatous differentiation metastatic to the eyelid.MethodsClinical data including a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, histologic findings, a bone scan, and hospital records were reviewed.ResultsA 56-year-old woman with a history of esophageal cancer had a rapidly growing lesion on her right upper eyelid that was initially treated as a chalazion. A biopsy specimen of the lesion was consistent with a gastrointestinal sarcoma with leiomyosarcomatous differentiation. The esophageal tumor was reclassified after histopathologic evaluation of the eyelid specimen. Bony metastasis developed soon after excision of the eyelid lesion. The patient died 3 months after proper diagnosis of the eyelid lesion.ConclusionsThis is a rare case of a metastatic leiomyosarcoma of the eyelid. To our knowledge, only two other cases of eyelid leiomyosarcoma have been described in the literature. The importance of correct histopathologic diagnosis of eyelid lesions is underscored in this case report.
