Clinical Evaluation and Surgical Management of Ocular Malakoplakia of the Caruncle and Periorbital Region: A Report of Two Case and Literature Review.
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2024 March 22
Ocular malakoplakia, a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by Michaelis-Gutmann bodies, is presented in 2 unique cases involving uncommon anatomical sites-the orbit and caruncle. The first case describes a 10-year-old girl with localized subconjunctival swelling near the caruncle, prompting surgical excision, and revealing characteristic malakoplakia features. Despite medical management, surgical intervention provided symptom relief. The second case involves a painless swelling below the lower lid in a 23-year-old female, initially suggestive of lymphoma. Excision biopsy confirmed malakoplakia, emphasizing the potential for clinical misdiagnosis. Histopathological examination showcased Michaelis-Gutmann bodies, von Hansemann cells, and chronic inflammation, confirming the ocular malakoplakia diagnosis. These cases underscore the rarity of ocular malakoplakia, particularly in pediatric patients, and highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
