title: Multiple intratarsal keratinous cysts of the eyelid.
abstract: Intratarsal keratinous cysts are uncommonly reported entities that originate within the tarsal plate. Previously reported cysts have always been solitary, whether primary or recurrent. The authors present an unusual case of a 50-year-old man with 11 intratarsal keratinous cysts on a single eyelid. Complete excision of all the cysts was curative for at least 2 months.
