Abstract
- Purpose: To describe a case of orbital sarcoidosis manifesting with enophthalmos. Methods: A 60-year-old woman presented with right enophthalmos. She had a palpable mass in her anterior orbit inferiorly. She underwent a complete ophthalmic evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathologic examination. Results: A magnetic resonance imaging scan disclosed an orbital, extraconal mass, with displacement of the orbital floor. A biopsy specimen of the mass demonstrated a granulomatous inflammation without caseation necrosis. Workup revealed hilar lymphadenopathy, pleural nodule, and splenomegaly. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, with subsequent involution of the mass and disappearance of enophthalmos. Conclusion: Although orbital sarcoidosis usually manifests with proptosis or palpebral swelling, enophthalmos should be considered as ophthalmic manifestation of sarcoidosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
