The eyelid area poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its specific anatomy. The eyelid is composed of skin, orbicularis muscle, tarsus, and the eyelid margin is continuous with palpebral conjunctiva. Among pigmented tumors, benign lesions such as epidermal or intradermal nevi, freckles, lentigo, or seborrheic keratosis are the most common. Melanoma is relatively rare in this location. A suspicious lesion may be biopsied or excised. Surgery in the eyelid area requires special considerations to maintain a safe surgical margin, vital function of the eyelid, and acceptable cosmetic effect due to the exposure of the eyelid region of the face.

Entropion is a posterior rotation of the upper or lower lid margin against the globe; the causes include involutional changes within the eyelid tissues or cicatricial shortening of the posterior lamella of the eyelid. Congenital lower lid entropion is rare and results from an excess of skin and orbicularis oculi muscle being only loosely attached to the eyelid retractors. The symptoms of entropion—which include ocular irritation, lid spasm, pain, redness, and watering—are worse in the presence of a keratinized lid margin (occurring in cicatricial disease) and where the ocular surface is compromised. Discomfort may lead to secondary blepharospasm, which exacerbates the entropion by causing the preseptal part of the orbicularis muscle to override the pretarsal component. The eyelids and globe should be examined to identify underlying causative factors—in particular the degree and position of tissue laxity, the position of the eyelid margin and lashes, and the thickness of the tarsus. Any secondary effects of entropion, both within the lid and on the ocular surface, should also be noted. 7-1-1 Tissue Laxity. Aging of collagen and the force of gravity leads to eyelid laxity and an excess of tissues, particularly the anterior lamella of the lid. Stretching of the orbicularis muscle and canthal tendons results in horizontal laxity, and eyelid stability is further compromised by enophthalmos due to age-related fat atrophy. Where there is a relative dissociation between the anterior and posterior lamellae, the preseptal orbicularis muscle overrides the pretarsal muscle, leading to eyelid inversion, and this effect is exacerbated both by laxity of the lower lid retractors and age-related tarsal atrophy. Tissue laxity in the absence of orbicularis overriding tends to cause ectropion; with complete loss of retractor action, this can result in complete eversion of the tarsus (“shelf ectropion”). Horizontal laxity of the eyelid tissues is assessed by grasping the lid skin and applying gentle traction in the appropriate direction. The overall horizontal laxity is judged by the extent to which the eyelid can be parted from the globe—greater than about 6 mm is abnormal for a lower eyelid—and by the speed with which the retracted lid returns to the surface of the globe (the “spring-back” test).

Bowens' disease (BD) is a precancerous condition of skin and/or mucosa with a predilection towards sun-exposed areas. Extensive literature research failed to reveal any case of multiple pigmented BD in type V Fitzpatrick skin. Multiple BD is a therapeutic challenge with a tendency to recur. Here we present an otherwise healthy Indian male having multiple pigmented lesions of BD on sun-protected sites of the body mimicking malignant melanoma. These lesions were refractory to treatment with different modalities. This paper is an attempt to review the available literature regarding the pigmented variant of multiple BD. Rationale for a therapeutic trial of UVB therapy for multiple arsenic induced BD is also discussed.
