Granuloma annulare is a chronic inflammatory disease of connective tissue, manifested clinically by small, firm nodules. It is observed only rarely around the eyes.
We present four patients aged 33 to 66 years with papulomatous lesions of the eyelids. The lesions were mildly or not symptomatic. Biopsies were taken. There was no association with any systemic inflammatory disease.
Histology was characteristic for granuloma annulare in all four cases. The clinical course was benign.
When faced with papulomatous lesions of the eyelids, the ophthalmologist may consider a diagnosis of granuloma annulare in patients of any age. While granuloma annulare is generally observed in young persons, one of our patients was aged 66 years.
环状肉芽肿是一种结缔组织的慢性炎症性疾病，临床上表现为小而硬的结节。眼部周围仅罕见观察到。
我们报告了4例年龄在33至66岁之间的眼睑丘疹样病变患者。病变轻度或无症状。进行了活检。与任何全身性炎症性疾病均无关联。
所有4例组织学表现均为环状肉芽肿特征。临床病程为良性。
当面对眼睑丘疹样病变时，眼科医生在任何年龄的患者中都可考虑环状肉芽肿的诊断。虽然环状肉芽肿一般在年轻人中观察到，但我们的患者中有1例为66岁。
