To report the rare occurrence of tick infestation of the eyelid margin.
A 58-year-old woman was initially examined with a small yellow lesion of the left upper eyelid margin that appeared after she felt a sting near her eye. Close examination disclosed an insect body attached to the eyelid margin. En bloc excision of the insect with part of the eyelid was performed.
Gross examination of the specimen identified the organism as the nymph stage of a bloated tick of the genus Hyalomma but of an uncertain species.
Ticks (Hyalomma) can become embedded in the meibomian gland orifice and manifest as a mass at the eyelid margin.
报告睑缘蜱虫感染这一罕见病例。
一名58岁女性最初接受检查时，左上睑缘有一个小黄斑，该黄斑是在她感觉眼睛附近有刺痛后出现的。仔细检查发现有一个昆虫体附着在睑缘。遂将昆虫与部分眼睑一并整块切除。
对标本进行大体检查，确定该生物体为璃眼蜱属一只肿胀若虫，但种类不明。
蜱虫（璃眼蜱属）可嵌入睑板腺开口，并在睑缘表现为肿物。
