title: Eccrine Hidrocystoma Arising at the Tarsal Plate during Childhood.
abstract: A 2-year-old boy with an upper-eyelid tumor in his right eye underwent complete resection. Pathological examination showed that the tumor was composed of a thin wall, lined by a single cuboidal epithelium, and contained a transparent liquid. The epithelium of the tumor wall did not display decapitation and the tumor was diagnosed as eccrine hidrocystoma. After resection, obvious improvement of the tumor-caused blepharoptosis was observed and the visual acuity of the patient recovered.
