A subepidermal calcified nodule (SCN) is an uncommon benign lesion, which usually develops in early childhood and is typically solitary. A rare form of this lesion has been reported in the eyelid. We report here a case of a 12-year-old girl with bilateral nodules of the right upper eyelid and a left lower eyelid simulating epidermal cyst. The histopathologic examination of the excised nodule confirmed the diagnosis. To our knowledge, this may be the first bilateral case of eyelid SCN reported in the literature.
皮下钙化结节(SCN)是一种罕见的良性病变,通常在儿童早期出现,且一般为单发。这种病变的一种罕见形式已在眼睑中被报道。我们在此报告一例12岁女孩,其右上眼睑和左下眼睑出现双侧结节,形似表皮样囊肿。对切除结节的组织病理学检查确诊了该疾病。据我们所知,这可能是文献中报道的首例眼睑SCN双侧病例。
