Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2019 Mar/Apr;35(2):e29-e30. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0000000000001298.

Abstract

The rare case of an eyelid lesion comprised of hamartomatous dermal collagen, known as a collagenoma, is presented. Collagenomas may be sporadically acquired, or inherited as part of numerous autosomal dominant syndromes. In the appropriate clinical context, their diagnosis should prompt a thorough review of systems, systemic examination, and inquiry into family history, to assess for underlying autosomal dominant syndromes. Recognition of collagenomas may thus allow diagnosis of inherited syndromes, allowing patients to obtain appropriate genetic counseling, as well as screening and treatment of associated systemic pathology.
