TLDR A 62-year-old woman got a lump on her eyelid from tiny mites, which is the first time this has happened.
The document discusses a unique case of a 62-year-old female who developed an upper eyelid mass due to an infestation of Demodex mites, an external parasite. This is the first reported instance of a Demodex infestation presenting as a nodular eyelid mass. The authors suggest that this parasite should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid masses, as it requires specific management.
