[Molluscum contagiosum of the eyelid].

A 6-year-old girl had a single molluscum contagiosum of the lower eyelid. Clinically, the tumor had grown slowly since it had been discovered 8 months before the child was seen at our consultation. It appeared as a nodular lesion on the middle part of the eyelid. Its surface was irregular and its color was the same as the epidermis. It was surgically excised, using the shaving biopsy technique. Its histopathological study showed a papillomatous lesion with the typical features of a molluscum contagiosum. The patient was lost to follow-up soon after the surgery.
