'Spontaneous haemorrhage in an eyelid hidrocystoma in a patient treated with clopidogrel' by Tehrani et al

摘要

We thank Tehrani et al for their interest in our article2 and for sharing their experience of two cases of spontaneous hemorrhage in an apocrine hidrocystoma in patients on antiplatelet therapy.We challenge their assertion that spontaneous bleeding within a hidrocystoma may occur even in the absence of clopidogrel use, because both of their patients were on clopidogrel, as in our case. Furthermore, they have provided no references to support that view. Although this is difficult to prove, we believe that the antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel contributed to the spontaneous bleeding within the hidrocystoma in our patient, as well as their two cases.
