Maskerade eines Talgdrüsenkarzinoms durch ein rasch rezidivierendes „Chalazion”, eine Kasuistik

“…Various eyelid tumors of different origins can be masqueraded as chalazions, including sebaceous gland carcinomas,2 neurilemomas,3 and Merkel cell tumors,4 but seldom neurofibromas 5. Here, we report a neurofibroma of the eyelid simulating a persistent chalazion without a concurrent pathology of neurofibromatosis.…”

Neurofibroma, a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor, usually appears together with café-au-lait spots, iris nodules, and other tumors within the scope of neurofibromatosis von Recklinghausen type 1 tumors. A solitary neurofibroma of the eyelid is relatively rare. In this case report, we present a 39-year-old woman who had a lesion on the eyelid crease, previously treated as a chalazion. Due to persistent wound crusting, the lesion was excised above the tarsus. Pathological examination revealed a solitary neurofibroma. The patient did not have other clinical symptoms of neurofibromatosis, and there was no recurrence of the nodule during the 1-year follow-up.

Chalazion is a common inflammatory condition of the eyelid, usually treated on the basis of clinical diagnosis alone. Preoperative exclusion of malignancy in chalazia with atypical clinical presentation could prevent unwarranted surgery. This is a retrospective study of aspirates from 16 patients with chalazia having an atypical clinical presentation. Smears were stained with May-Grünwald Giemsa. Two broad patterns of granulomatous inflammation reflecting the spectrum of changes in the course of the disease were seen. Nine smears had mixed-cell granulomas consisting of neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages, giant cells, and granulation tissue. Seven smears had suppurating granulomas characterized by epithelioid cell granulomas with numerous neutrophils in a proteinaceous background. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of chalazia with atypical clinical presentation provides a rapid, safe, and reliable means of documenting the diagnosis and excluding malignancy.
