[Seborrheic keratosis of the eyelid in a young woman].
A 46-year-old female patient had a tumor of the free margin area of the superior right eyelid, appearing as the fourth recurrence of a primary lesion, occurring 24 years before. The lesion was covered with a thick layer of keratin, giving it a grayish and black color. Excision was performed without involving the free margin. Histopathology disclosed that the tumor was a seborrheic keratosis, which was not completely removed. As the lesion was benign, no further surgery was performed but regular examination was recommended to the patient.
