The only thing close that I could come up with that might work is xanthelasma maybe? xanthelasma - plantar xanthoma involving the eyelid(s) Let me know if I was even close. : ) Laurilee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Nita, what comes to my mind is " chalazion " which is pronounced " kah LAY zee on " . The definition of " chalazion " per Dorland's is " a small eyelid mass due to inflammation of a meibomian gland. " However, since the pronunciation is so different, you might want to look further. You are saying you hear, " shall ah SEE um, " right? Valeria At 12:20 AM 12/31/2001, Nita King wrote: >The patient has an irritation of the eye.
