An 8-year-old boy presented with a left lower lid swelling of one month duration. His parents gave a history of date palm thorn injury on left side of the forehead three months back which was removed partially by a local doctor. On examination, there was a left infraorbital swelling with diffuse oedema of the left sided cheek and temporal fossa. A scar mark (entry wound) was detected over the left eyebrow. Three-D configuration of contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the orbit showed a linear foreign body behind the zygomatic bone. The lower lid mass was excised, the date palm thorn was recovered from a pocket behind the zygomatic bone. Histopathology of the excised mass showed presence of granulation tissue. We describe the management of such a rare case along with review of literature.
一名8岁男孩出现左眼下睑肿胀1个月。其父母称3个月前孩子左侧前额被枣椰树刺扎伤，当地医生部分取出了刺。检查发现左侧眶下肿胀，左侧脸颊和颞窝弥漫性水肿。左眉上方有一个瘢痕标记（伤口入口）。眼眶增强CT三维成像显示颧骨后有一线状异物。切除下睑肿物，从颧骨后的一个囊袋中取出了枣椰树刺。切除肿物的组织病理学检查显示有肉芽组织。我们描述了该罕见病例的处理过程并复习了相关文献。
