Abstract:
A 42-year-old Malay lady presented with a 2-year history of painless and progressive right upper lid swelling. There was no history of trauma or similar lesion elsewhere. An excisional biopsy of the mass was performed and the histopathological findings of the excised lesion were consistent with those for a trichilemmal cyst. Trichilemmal cyst, although rare should be considered in any case of eye lid lesion.
