Case Illustration : Male, 35 yo with chief complained progressive lesion in his bilateral upper and lower eyelid since 4 days before admission. He felt pain and stingy sensation around lesion. There was history of toothache. He was diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia since 2 month before.

Conjunctival injection was found in both eyes. The reminder of ophthalmology examination was unremarkable. There were other hyperemic nodules in left mandibulae and right mastoid bone. Laboratory examination showed increased leukocyte, procalcitonin and C-Reactive Protein level. Orbital CT scan revealed edema in cutis and subcutis area in both superior and inferior bilateral palpebra. Board spectrum and anaerobe antibiotic along with steroid were administered intravenously. Biopsy was performed. After two weeks medication, lesion around both palpebra was decreased. Unfortunately, because of his poor systemic condition, he was readministered to our hospital and hospitalized in ICU. He was passed away after 8 days of hospitalization. Discussion : Male patient is more likely to develop orbital infiltration of leukemia, and it necessitates significant morbidity and mortality condition.
