Rapidly enlarging acquired capillary hemangioma of the eyelid

DESCRIPTIONCase description

Case 1: A 10-year-old female presented with a 2-week history of a small reddish mass on her right upper eyelid. Her past history was otherwise uneventful. Ocular examination and visual acuity were both normal. The right upper eyelid showed a small reddish mass measuring about 2x2 mm approximately 1 mm from the eyelashes and at the junction of the medial two thirds and lateral one third of the eyelid (figure 1, top panel). The patient was kept under observation as the mass was small, but it rapidly increased in size over the next 2 weeks (figure 1, middle panel). Complete surgical excision was performed after the stalk was clamped and the bleeding blood vessel at the base was cauterised, followed by closure of the skin with 6–0 silk. A cosmetically acceptable result was achieved after 2 weeks (figure 1, bottom panel).
