Abstract
Clinical case

Seven-year-old male patient, affected by xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) who was referred to ophthalmology due to the presence of numerous tumors in his left eye that affected the eyelids and conjunctiva.

He had a tumor in his lower eyelid that affected the free edge, creating a secondary ectropion, and several lesions with a melanocytic appearance in conjunctiva.

A resection of the eyelid tumor and the conjunctival lesions were performed by placing a skin graft and amniotic membrane, respectively, as covering.

Discussion

XP patients have high probability of developing eye tumors. A thorough ophthalmic examination is necessary to establish an early diagnosis.

Keywords:
Eyelid tumor
Graft
Amniotic membrane
