Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. 2008 May-Jun; 56(3): 239-40http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/70190Cutaneous melanoma of the eyelid is a rare entity. We present a 53-year-old male who had a nevus on the left upper eyelid skin since childhood, which transformed into a huge ulcerated hanging mass in the same region. Excision of the mass was done and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of nodular malignant melanoma. A small preauricular lymph node showed metastatic melanoma on fine needle aspiration cytology.engEyelid Neoplasms --pathologyHumansLymphatic MetastasisMaleMelanoma --secondaryMiddle AgedNevus, Pigmented --pathologySkin Neoplasms --pathologyCase Reports
