title: Syringocystadenoma papilliferum of the eyelid in a young girl.
abstract: An 8-year-old girl presented with a papillomatous lower eyelid lesion, which had been present since infancy. An incisional biopsy diagnosed syringocystadenoma papilliferum. The origin and natural history of syringocystadenoma papilliferum remain disputed and are reviewed. In view of its association with basal cell carcinoma, further management options are discussed.
