Capillary hemangioma of the eye lid: A rare case in middle age adults

Abstract

Capillary hemangiomas are the most common eyelid lesions seen in children, however, they are rare in middle-aged individuals. They can pose a diagnostic challenge in adults when they present as acquired lesions. We present a case of acquired lid capillary hemangioma in a 48-year-old female with no other predisposing risk factors and the management. In children, spontaneous resolution is a rule, whereas in adults because of the diagnostic dilemma excision biopsy remains the mainstay of management.
