RESUMO
A 75-year-old woman presented with a nodular lesion on a skin graft in her left upper eyelid. The lesion had grown gradually over the previous 2 years. She had undergone multiple surgeries and full-thickness skin graft procedures 61 years previously, because of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The diagnosis of nodular basal cell carcinoma was made by means of an excisional biopsy of the lesion. During a follow-up period of 27 months, the tumor did not recur. Malignant tumors may rarely develop at the site of traumatic or surgical scar. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of basal cell carcinoma arising in a skin graft in the eyelid.

Cavernous hemangioma of the conjunctiva is rare and has been reported previously in only a few cases. In this report, the authors describe a 17-year-old boy with an isolated conjunctival cavernous hemangioma. The tumor was located in the caruncular region over the bulbar conjunctiva. The lesion had appeared as a red mark in early childhood, grown in the last 2 years, and was causing bloody tears occasionally. No associated vascular lesion was noted within the eye and orbit. After removal of the tumor, no recurrence or complication developed during the follow-up period.
