Abstract
To report a case of an acquired capillary hemangioma of the eyelid in an adult. A 38-year-old man developed a discrete blue nodular mass in the lower eyelid. The lesion grew slowly for 6 months and then remained stable in size. Excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologic examination of an excisional biopsy specimen of the nodular mass disclosed a capillary hemangioma. Capillary hemangioma of the eyelid can occur in adults but should be distinguished from other acquired vascular lesions, including angiosarcoma.
