title: Periocular mass lesions secondary to dermatologic fillers: report of 3 cases.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe findings in patients who received dermal fillers and later developed peri-ocular mass lesions.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective case series.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients who presented with peri-ocular masses secondary to dermal filler use.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective chart review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three patients with remote filler injection (hyaluronic acid and polyalkylimide), not volunteered on initial history, presented with peri-orbital swelling and/or inflammation that was suspicious in each case for more serious pathology.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is important for the injecting physician, the ophthalmologist, and the patient to recognize this complication to permit appropriate investigation and management.
