Congenital Divided Nevus of the Eyelid / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Divided nevus of the eyelids is a rare form of congenital melanocytic nevus that involves the upper and lower eyelids of one eye. About 34 cases in both children and adults at present have been reported, but no case of divided nevus of the eyelids has previously been reported in the literature so far in Korea. A 12-year-old girl presented with a congenital divided nevus of the upper and lower lid. The histology of the pigmented plaque on the lower lid was confirmed to be that of a benign compound nevus. We, herein, report a case of divided nevus of the eyelids.
