Abstract: Abstract Purpose To present the clinical and histologic findings of an unusual eyelid lesion. Methods A 63‐year‐old patient was referred to our Department with a small painless nodular tumour of his left lower eyelid. The lesion had been present for about six months and had increased in size during the last weeks. Slit lamp microscopy revealed a lesion with a smooth surface near the lid margin. On eversion of the eyelid there was some associated pigmentation on the tarsal conjunctiva which had caused the referring Ophthalmologist to suspect a melanocytic process. The lesion was removed by wedge resection and examined by light microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Results Findings will be demonstrated at the meeting. Conclusion The lesion presented here is a rare entity but should be considered in the differential of some fairly common eyelid tumours.
