| A 4-year-old boy presented with a mass on the right upper lid growing gradually for the past one month [Fig. 1]. Close examination revealed a 10 mm round, cystic, smooth lesion with dry keratinized surface. The lid margin was well spared with prominent feeder vessels on its surface [Fig. 2]. There was no history of trauma or the mass increasing in size on crying. The rest of the ocular examination was normal and the left eye examination was unremarkable. |
