Iatrogenic eyelid granulomata.
The authors report a possible association between posaconazole, a new systemic antifungal, and eyelid granulomata. A 12-year-old boy presented with a 2-week history of bilateral eyelid granulomata. They were noted to reduce in size and symptoms when posaconazole was discontinued. Symptoms increased when the drug was restarted.
