    Author: Pessoa de Souza Filho J, Martins MC, Sant'Anna AE, Coutinho AB, Burnier MN, Rigueiro MP.
    Journal: Ocul Immunol Inflamm; 2005; 13(5):399-402. PubMed ID: 16419426.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe a case of eyelid sarcoidosis without systemic manifestations with a three-year follow-up. METHODS: A 73-year-old woman presented complaining of a one-year history of swelling and hyperemia in the right upper eyelid. To confirm the diagnosis, we performed an incisional biopsy of the eyelid. RESULTS: Histopathological examination showed a non-caseating granulomatous process suggestive of sarcoidosis. After three years, the patient was asymptomatic and physical and laboratory examination showed no signs of systemic sarcoidosis. CONCLUSION: The histopathological exam was fundamental for the diagnosis.
