Abstract
Malignant Melanoma of the eyelid skin arises from the abnormal proliferation of melanocytes. It is a rare condition that accounts for < 1% of all melanomas. They are usually a result of DNA damage from exposure to UVB (290-320). Other common risk factors include Fair skin, red/blond hair, high-density freckling, light eyes (green/ hazel/blue), family history of melanoma or dysplastic nevi, immunosuppression (congenital or acquired), UVA (tanning beds, PUVA therapy). Mutations in CDKN2A, CDK4, XP, BRCA2 genes occurs in 10% of the melanoma.1 Lower eyelid is the most common location of the eyelid melanoma, where it is approximately 2.6 times more likely to occur than the upper eyelid. Here we present a rare case of recurrent eyelid melanoma in a 62-year-old lady.
