title: North American blastomycosis of the eyelid.
abstract: A 26-year-old diabetic man presented with a papillomatous eyelid lesion. Histopathology was consistent with Blastomyces dermatitidis. A 1-year course of itraconazole led to resolution in this case. Although skin is the most common extrapulmonary site of blastomycosis, eyelid involvement is rare. Prompt diagnosis and treatment improve morbidity and mortality.
