RATIONALE
Sporotrichosis is the most common subcutaneous mycosis. It is caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii. Ocular sporotrichosis is uncommon and has been rarely reported.
PATIENT CONCERNS
We describe a 34-year-old female who presented with a nodule increasing in size near the medial angle of the left eye. Originally, she was misdiagnosed with a dacryocyst space-occupying lesion, and the lesion was removed by surgery.
DIAGNOSES
Findings of fungal structures in the histopathological examination contributed to the diagnosis of Sporothrix dacryocystitis. Further culture of conjunctival secretions and contact lens storage solution was positive for Sporothrix.
INTERVENTIONS
She was treated with oral itraconazole, 200 mg by mouth twice daily.
OUTCOMES
After 3 months of treatment with oral itraconazole, culture of the conjunctival secretions was negative.
LESSONS
It is of paramount importance to clinically suspect mycosis, even in unusual locations or in the absence of the typical epidemiological history.
