A Case of Eyelid oil Granuloma Caused by High Pressure Injury
Abstract
- Oil granuloma is a foreignbody reaction which occurs after injection of lipid usually for cosmetic or therapeutic reasons. I present a case of eyelid oil granuloma caused by accidental high pressure injury in a 39-year-old man. The patient had a 2 x 0.5cm sized, firm, normardear subcutaneous nodule on the Rt. upper eyelid. Histopathologic examination showed a characteris swiss-cheese appearance. Eyelid oil granuloma caused by high pressure injury is very rare and my case is the first described in Korean medical literatures.
