Diagnosis
A recurrent, nontender, sterile, chronic lipogranulomatous inflammation of the meibomian gland. Huh? I didn't even know I had a meibomian gland. And it can have a chronic lipogranulomatous inflammation? Ick. It's an uninfected lid nodule, they can be secondarily infected.
Epidemiologic Risks

Not usually an infection.
Empiric Therapy
Warm compresses.
Usually, get better on its own, they may need removal.
Pearls
This is why we have ophthalmologists. They also know where the 'p' goes in their subspecialty.
