Source abstract
A woman in her early 20s underwent excision of a 6-mm diameter, tender, mobile mass in the temporal left upper eyelid associated with eyelid swelling and blurred vision. Surgery disclosed a large tarsal lesion that appeared to be a cyst but was found to be a soft-tissue chondroma featuring an island of hyaline cartilage surrounded by dense tarsal fibrous connective tissue containing smaller foci of myxoid cartilage. The woman reported that a nodule had been present at this site since childhood. The soft-tissue chondroma has not recurred after 1.5 years. This case represents one of the few known reports of a soft-tissue chondroma in the eyelid.
