ABSTRACT
Orbital sarcoid is a rare entity and may be the first manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis. We report a case of orbital sarcoidosis where diagnosis was complicated by a history of lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The patient presented with progressive swelling of the left lower eyelid, which was assumed to be a late complication of her surgery. After failing multiple treatments, MRI orbits was obtained and revealed an enhancing lesion in the left orbit inseparable from the lacrimal gland and inferior oblique muscle. Biopsy showed noncaseating granulomatous inflammation, and the patient was eventually diagnosed with sarcoidosis.
