title: Giant multi-loculated apocrine hidrocystomas.
abstract: Giant, multi-loculated hidrocystomas represent a rare variant of the common, benign hidrocystoma. Hidrocystomas are generally 1-3 mm and rarely exceed 10 mm. We describe a case of giant multi-loculated hidrocystomas 1-2 cm in size that were located near both upper and lower eyelids. Multiple modalities have been used to treat hidrocystomas, including excision, pulsed-dye laser, electrodesiccation, curettage, tricholoracetic acid, botulinum toxin, and anticholinergics.
