[Mulitiple myxoma of the eyelid].

Case report of a man aged 41 with several myxomas of the lids. At the age of 10 years a myxoma of the nose, primarily interpreted as myxosarcoma, was removed surgically and irradiated. 7 years later a myxoma developed on his right lower lid and 31 years later 3 more myxomas appeared on his left upper lid. The histology of this rare kind of lid tumour is described and the unusual course discussed.
