title: [Unilateral facial edematous granulomatosis. Initial symptom of basalioma].
abstract: A seventy-year-old woman presented with persistent edema of the left lower eyelid and induration in the inner angle of her left eye. Histological examination revealed granulomatous blepharitis of the lower eyelid as well as a solid basal cell carcinoma with partial calcification in the inner angle of the eye. The edema of the lower eyelid resolved upon complete surgical removal of the tumor.
