Abstract:
The author experienced a case of paraffinoma in a 64-year-old woman who complained of nontender hard masses of both upper lids causing difficulties of eye opening and ptosis and had undergone injection of foreign material into zygomatic areas 20 years ago for cosmesis. Excisional biopsy showed multiple irregular shaped vacuoles with perivacuolar dense fibrotic rim and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration in interstitium. These findings were consistent with lipogranuloma[paraffinoma].
