Abstract
Case report

78-Year-old female patient being investigated for a left orbital pseudotumour of 17 days onset. She had proptosis, pain, with no limitation of eye movements, periorbital edema, and upper eyelid ptosis, compatible with an orbital pseudotumour. The MRI showed an upper outer left orbital mass adjacent to the side of eyeball and an increase in soft tissue at the level of lacrimal gland. The histopathology study of an eyelid lesion demonstrated the presence of non-caseating granulomas.

Discussion

A definitive diagnosis of orbital sarcoidosis was made. Oral treatment with corticosteroids and methotrexate achieved gradual control of the disease.

Keywords:
Unilateral proptosis
Orbital pseudotumour
Sarcoidosis
Resumen
Caso clínico

Paciente mujer de 78 años remitida para estudio de pseudotumor orbitario izquierdo de 17 días de evolución. Observamos proptosis, dolor sin limitación de los movimientos oculares, edema periorbitario y ptosis palpebral, clínica compatible con pseudotumor orbitario. La resonancia magnética orbitaria evidencia una masa adyacente al globo ocular ocupando la vertiente superoexterna y aumento de partes blandas a nivel de la glándula lagrimal. El estudio anatomopatológico de una lesión palpebral demuestra la presencia de granulomas no caseificantes.

Discusión

Se realiza el diagnóstico de sarcoidosis orbitaria definitiva. El tratamiento oral con corticoides y metotrexato logra el control de la enfermedad.

Palabras clave:
