    Author: Dworak DP, Kapustiak J, Ehklassi TA, Patrianakos TD.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2016; 32(2):e40-1. PubMed ID: 25072222.
    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old man presented with an ulcerated nodule on his left eyelid and eyebrow that was unresponsive to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Incisional biopsies were performed, and cultures were positive for Coccidioides immitis. An extensive work-up revealed no systemic involve ment of disseminated coccidioidomycosis. The patient was treated with oral itraconazole for 6 months with resolution of the lesion. Few cases of primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis have been reported. The authors describe a primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis lesion of the eyelid without disseminated disease.
