title: Acquired capillary hemangioma of the eyelid in a child.
abstract: Acquired capillary hemangioma of the eyelid in adults is uncommon. The authors report an unusual case of acquired capillary hemangioma in a 12-year-old pubertal girl. The importance of development of such vascular lesions at puberty, due to hormonal changes and increased estrogen levels, is highlighted.
