REPORT OF A CASE
A 2 -month-old girl presented with a short history of disseminated
violaceous skin nodules. She was born at term after an uneventful pregnancy.
Soon after birth, her parents noted a rapid, painless enlargement of her right
eye, with a protrusion of the eyeball. A few weeks later, the skin nodules
on her trunk and extremities became apparent.
At examination, there were numerous violaceous, firm, dermal and subcutaneous
nodules (0.5-1.2 cm in diameter) on the patient's trunk, arms, and thighs
(Figure 1). There was also marked
edema of the upper and lower eyelids and conjuctiva that was associated with
a marked protrusion and displacement of the right eyeball in a downward and
temporal direction (Figure 2).
