SPINDLE-CELL LIPOMA OF THE PRESEPTAL EYELID

An 82-year-old woman had experienced progressive enlargement of a long -standing left upper lid mass for 3 weeks. The superior visual field w as compromised secondary to mechanical ptosis from this lid lesion. Co mputed tomography showed a large lid mass with a low density signal, s imilar to intraorbital fat. The tumor was completely excised. Histopat hologic examination showed an encapsulated tumor composed of mature ad ipose tissue interspersed with fibrovascular septa containing spindle- cells, confirming a diagnosis of spindle-cell lipoma.
