    Journal: Orbit; 2014 Aug; 33(4):295-7. PubMed ID: 24830982.
    Abstract:
    A subepidermal calcified nodule is an uncommon variant of calcinosis cutis and only a limited number of cases have been reported about the eyelid nodules in the literature. A 20-year-old male was referred to our department with symmetrical nodules on both upper eyelids enlarging over 3 years. Both nodules were removed by excisional biopsy. After the histopathologic evaluation, the diagnosis was subepidermal calcified nodule. He had a complete recovery with no recurrence and acceptable aesthetic appearance. As a rare entity, subepidermal calcified nodule should be thought in differential diagnosis of eyelid nodular lesions and symmetrical appearance may be seen.
