Sumario:Molluscums contagiosum (MC) are benign skin lesions caused by Molluscipoxvirus, primarily affecting children and young adults. They manly involve the skin and rarely the mucous membranes. Clinical diagnosis is easy, confirmed by histological examination of the lesion. However there is no consensus regarding therapy. Eyelid molluscum contagiosum is rare, posing a problem of differential diagnosis especially when it is isolated as well as a therapeutic problem given the proximity of the eyeball. We report the case of a 7-year old girl with isolated eyelid lesion. The patient underwent lesion excision. Anatomopathological examination showed molluscum contagiosum. This study aims to describe the clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary features of this rare localization of molluscum contagiosum.
