To report a patient with cavernous hemangioma (CH) presenting as a "subcutaneous" lower eyelid mass.
A 37-year-old man presented with a painless and palpable mass over the right lower eyelid for two years prior to referral. Computed tomography scan revealed a well-defined, lobulated mass located in the mid and lateral portion of the lower eyelid that extended posteriorly to the anterior orbital space. A transcutaneous excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologic findings of the tumor confirmed CH. Most CHs are intraconal lesions, making our case an unusual presentation for this condition.
CH may present superficially in the eyelid and anterior orbital area and thus, although this location is not common, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for any well-defined eyelid tumor.
报告一例表现为下睑“皮下”海绵状血管瘤(CH)的患者。
一名37岁男性在转诊前两年出现右下睑无痛性可触及肿物。计算机断层扫描显示一个边界清晰、分叶状的肿物位于下睑中外侧部分,向后延伸至眶前间隙。进行了经皮切除活检。肿瘤的组织病理学检查结果证实为CH。大多数CH为肌锥内病变,因此我们的病例是这种情况的不寻常表现。
CH可浅表地出现在眼睑和眶前部区域,因此,尽管这个部位并不常见,但对于任何边界清晰的眼睑肿瘤,都应将其作为鉴别诊断考虑在内。
