Abstract

Paracoccidioidomycosis is the most frequent systemic mycosis in Brazil, but ocular involvement is rare and, if present, often secondary to another site. The authors report a case of paracoccidioidomycosis of eyelid and conjunctiva where no extraocular focus was found. A brief review of the literature is made discussing the importance of diagnostic suspecion in a population at risk and early treatment for a good visual prognosis.
