Phakomatous choristoma of the lower eyelid: a case study with a review of the literature.

We report a case of phakomatous choristoma of the lower eyelid. A 2-week-old girl was referred with a tumor of the right lower eyelid near the inner canthus, present since birth. No other abnormalities were noted.

Diagnosis of loxoscelism in two Turkish patients confirmed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and non-invasive tissue sampling.

Confirmed envenomations due to Loxosceles reclusa have not been previously documented in Turkey, to our knowledge. This brief report describes two Turkish patients with suspected envenomation by Loxosceles spider bites on the eyelids. Material obtained by swabbing the lesions with gauze was tested using a venom-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
