Disease relevance of Chalazion

• Angiotensin-converting enzyme in sarcoid and chalazion granulomas of the conjunctiva [1].
• It is important to consider the possibility of SCC in addition to sebaceous carcinoma when we see a patient with an eyelid lesion, even one which looks like a benign condition such as chronic conjunctivitis or chalazion [2].

High impact information on Chalazion

• Efficacy of lignocaine 2% gel in chalazion surgery [3].
• Injection of chalazions with a steroid suspension is a convenient and reasonably effective alternative to the standard surgical management of this common condition [4].
• CONCLUSION: Subcutaneous injection of the steroid triamcinolone acetonide appears to be a simple and effective treatment for chalazion [5].
• OBJECTIVE: This is a pilot prospective study undertaken to compare 3 methods of chalazion treatment, namely intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection, incision and curettage and the combination of incision, curettage and intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection [6].
• Other histological findings in the remaining three patients included flat warts, an unusual elastotic degeneration of the forniceal palpebral conjunctiva and more common lesions (chalazion, Demodex folliculorum infestation of the eyelashes, trichilemmal cyst) [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Chalazion

• Corticosteroid (triamcinolone acetonide) injection of chalazion intralesionally is an effective, easy and a safe method [8].
• CO2 laser excision of chalazion can be done successfully in the office with minimal to no bleeding and with complete extirpation of the granulomous tissue [9].
• Correlation between serum, tissue cholesterol and chalazion formation [10].
• We describe a 42-year-old woman who suffered a corneal injury following the application of a silver nitrate stick to her lid for hemostasis after a chalazion had been incised and drained [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Chalazion

• Intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide 5 mg/mL suspension was used in the treatment of 110 cases of chalazion; 92.3% of the cases resolved completely with one to three injections, irrespective of the duration and consistency of the chalazion [12].
