Aim:
To report a rare presentation of colloid milium occurring only on the upper eyelid margins.
Design:
Interventional case report.
Methods:
(1) Slit-lamp examination of eyelids and eyes and clinical examination including the face and a general physical examination; (2) photography of the lesions on the lids; and (3) excision biopsy and histopathologic examination.
Main Outcome Measures:
Histologic examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis.
Results:
Clinical examination and histopathologic findings revealed the cysts to be colloid milium.
Conclusions:
Colloid milium can involve upper eyelids in isolation, sparing the lower eyelids and facial skin. Such rare presentations should be kept in mind while examining similar lesions.
