Kindle the Spindle: To Bring in Light a Rare Case of Eyelid Spindle Cell Sarcoma

A seventy-five year old female, resident of Mandor village, Jodhpur, presented with complaints of severe pain in right eye and right sided headache for 2 months. She had a history of cataract surgery with IOL implantation in bag in right eye 4 months back in a rural camp setting.

During the same time, a mass lesion was also removed from underside of right lower lid which was present for about 7-8 years and was sent for histopathological examination. It was reported to be a low-grade spindle cell sarcoma. The tumor was mentioned to be devoid of any surgically free margins except for lateral margins and there was lack of circumscription of tumor mass. The patient was referred to AIIMS, Jodhpur. She deferred the visit initially citing the gain in vision in right eye following cataract surgery to be very gratifying.
