We report the case of a 66-year-old female patient with rheumatoid arthritis and bilateral upper eyelid abscess under treatment with etanercept. Because bilateral upper lid abscesses due to a systemic cause are rare and cases of abscess formation under treatment with etanercept have been described in the literature, we discuss a possible connection between the bilateral upper lid abscess and the existing immunosuppressive medication.
