Purpose: To report a case of bilateral subepidermal calcified nodules of the upper eyelid in a child.
Case summary: A 5-year-old girl with no history of trauma or systemic disease was referred for assessment of bilateral eyelidmasses that had appeared 8 months prior. The masses grew slowly without pain, and were hard, elevated, and yellowish-whitein color. The right eyelid mass was close to the medial canthus and measured 0.2 × 0.2 cm. The mass of the left upper eyelid wassmaller (0.2 × 0.1 cm) and closer to the medial side. The clinical impression was juvenile xanthogranuloma and molluscumcontagiosum. Excisional biopsy of the bilateral eyelid masses was performed. Histologic findings revealed that the lesions werecomposed of variable-sized multiple calcium deposits, lined by hyperplastic and hyperkeratotic epidermis or within the hyperkeratoticepidermis. The diagnosis was subepidermal calcified nodules (SCNs) for both of the bilateral eyelid masses. The patientmade a complete recovery after the excision, without recurrence.
Conclusions: SCNs should be considered during differential diagnosis of a painless, elevated, yellowish-white eyelid lesion.
