Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2005 Sep;21(5):391-2. doi: 10.1097/01.iop.0000176266.14388.6b.

Abstract

A 33-year-old man presented with a solid lesion encompassing the entire left upper eyelid. Multiple biopsies revealed lipogranuloma consistent with chalazion. The induration resolved after multiple triamcinolone injections. This is the only case report to our knowledge of a chalazion that involved the entire upper eyelid.
