Subepidermal calcified nodule of the eyelid.
Subepidermal calcified nodule, a rare form of calcinosis cutis, is a benign lesion of the eyelid that occurs in children. We report a case of a 9-year-old boy with a nodule of the right upper eyelid simulating Molluscum contagiosum. The histopathologic examination of the excised nodule confirmed the diagnosis.
