Milia en plaque of the eyelids in childhood: case report and review of the literature.

Milia en plaque is a rare type of primary milia. Most of the reported cases have occurred around the ears in adults. We report milia en plaque in a 10-year-old girl who presented with symmetrical erythematous plaques studded with milia on the eyelids. Histopathology revealed milia surrounded by a dense lymphocytic infiltrate. Administration of minocycline and manual expression of the milia successfully treated this condition.
