Abstract:
A raised erythematous eyelid lesion that appeared in a 31-year-old man was diagnosed as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), with confirmatory Doppler ultrasound demonstrating high arterial flow. Surgical excision, aided by electrocautery for extensive hemorrhage, resulted in an acceptable cosmetic result. Histopathology of the excised lesion showed collapsed capillary channels lined by endothelium. AVM is rarely encountered in the eyelid.
