Angiosarcoma of the Eyelid With Superimposed Enterobacter Infection

Eric B Hamill et al. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2016 May-Jun.

Abstract

Angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive, malignant endothelial neoplasm with a variable clinical presentation. The authors describe a case of angiosarcoma involving the eyelid that was complicated by a superimposed Enterobacter infection. Following positive cultures for E. aerogenes and multiple biopsies suspicious but not definitive for angiosarcoma, a final biopsy was consistent with angiosarcoma.
