Picture of the Month—Quiz Case

Picture of the Month—Quiz Case A previously healthy 14-year-old girl had a large but asymptomatic lesion on the left lower eyelid margin (Figure 1A). She had first noted a small papule that gradually and progressively grew over 5 months. She also noticed that the lesion had grown after minor trauma. On physical examination, the lower eyelid lesion was a firm, pink, 28 × 19 × 15-mm nodule with central ulceration and crust. The remainder of the skin examination results were normal. Figure 1.
