To report a Serratia marcescens infection that clinically simulated a conjunctival neoplasm.
Case report.
A healthy 80-year-old man without contact lenses presented with a pink-yellow conjunctival mass that resembled a solid neoplasm. Stains and cultures of material that exuded from the mass during surgery revealed S. marcescens. Histopathology disclosed an epithelial-lined cyst with macrophages containing S. marcescens.
Although S. marcescens usually affects the eye as a keratoconjunctivitis in patients with contact lenses, it can also present as a mass simulating a neoplasm in a patient who does not wear contact lenses.
报告一例临床上疑似结膜肿瘤的粘质沙雷菌感染病例。
病例报告。
一名80岁未佩戴隐形眼镜的健康男性,出现了一个类似实性肿瘤的粉黄色结膜肿物。手术过程中从肿物渗出的物质进行染色和培养,发现了粘质沙雷菌。组织病理学显示为一个内衬上皮的囊肿,其中巨噬细胞内含有粘质沙雷菌。
虽然粘质沙雷菌通常在佩戴隐形眼镜的患者中引起角膜结膜炎,但在未佩戴隐形眼镜的患者中也可表现为类似肿瘤的肿物。
