Periocular XXXX : case report.

@entity1 @entity17390 @entity189 @entity5
The aim is to present a case of @entity17390 in the periocular area in a 10-year-old female through retrospective review of medical records of a single @entity1 . A 10-year-old female developed a lesion under her right eyebrow over a period of one year. The rest of the ophthalmic history was unremarkable. On examination, oval, well-defined, subcutaneous @entity5 measuring 7 x 4 mm was found under the right eyebrow. It gave bluish tint under the firmly adherent overlying skin of normal color and texture. Rocky hard and non-tender, it was mobile over the underlying tissues. Total excision biopsy was performed under general anesthesia. Histopathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis ofpilomatrixoma. @entity17390 is a rare @entity5 with head, neck and periocular area being the commonest sites. It is often clinically misdiagnosed and/or missed on differential diagnosis. Although a @entity5 , malignant transformation into @entity189 has been described. Thus, total surgical excision of the mass is recommended.
