Abstract

A 2-year-old girl presented with a history of a recurrent painless red and swollen lesion on the right upper eyelid. Examination demonstrated an 8.0-mm erythematous papule with overlying crusting skin in the lateral aspect of the right upper eyelid. Probing under general anesthesia revealed openings in the right temporal brow region and upper eyelid that led to aberrant ductules traveling toward the lacrimal gland. The temporal ductule was surgically excised, whilst the eyelid ductule was redirected to the fornix.
