Unknown: bilateral symmetrical papules on the eyelid.
Eyelid lesions frequently are a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman with a 5-year history of yellowish symmetric progressively growing papules on the eyelids, resembling xanthelasma. A skin biopsy was performed that revealed the rare variant of clear cell syringoma. The lesions were treated with CO2 laser and surgical excision; there was no evidence of recurrence after 6 months of follow-up.
