Summary

A 77-year-old man presented with a right lower eyelid swelling. Biopsy and histopathology of the lesion identified idiopathic granulomatous orbital inflammation. Clinical resolution of this patient's orbital mass was achieved with injection of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide, perilesionally, at three sites in the right orbit. Such treatment may thus form an alternative to oral corticosteroid therapy in the management of granulomatous orbital inflammation.
