Abstract

Chalazion is a subacute granulomatous inflammation of the eyelid caused by retention of tarsal gland secretions1 and it’s the most common inflammatory lesion of the eyelid.


In cases of doubtful clinical presentation the diagnosis with a biopsy and a histopathological examination is important because it can orientate an appropriate surgical treatment.


We report a case of a 64-years-old diabetic man, suspected for a spinocellular lesion of the inferior eyelid of the left eye, it resulted unexpectedly a chalazion.
