Subepidermal calcified nodule: report of two cases and review of the literature.
Subepidermal calcified nodule (SCN) is a form of calcinosis cutis that most commonly occurs in children. The typical clinical presentation is of a solitary verrucous nodule on the face, but occasionally multiple lesions may be seen. We describe SCN on the eyelids of two female patients; one of whom had four lesions. The histopathology was typical of calcinosis cutis. Both patients were in good health.
