چکیده

439 to the upper eyelid wrinkle; from the upper eyelid wrinkle to the upper eyelid borderline; the eyelash area; the lower eyelid boundary to the lower eyelid wrinkle; the isthmus area; the medial area of the eyelid; the forehead area close to the eyebrow; and the nose and canthus. Most people with congenital melanocytic nevus in the eyelid or the periorbital area have considerable functional and aesthetic stress. In addition, for a palpebra with serious deformation, the suitable timing of surgery is preschool age, as the patient may be teased [4]. The most appropriate type of reconstructive procedure should be selected according to the anatomical units and size. A lesion that is smaller than 1/4 of the upper and lower eyelids can be reconstructed by advancing a nearby skin flap. A lesion that is large can be reconstructed with a full-thickness graft using a retroauricular flap, a lesion in an area that is close to the eyebrow can be reconstructed using an island flap and full-thickness flap surgery, and a large lesion on the forehead and the isthmus area can be reconstructed via local flap surgery using a tissue expander. As the lesions in the patient in this case belonged to zone 2 and caused no malformation of the eyelid, the functional and aesthetic problems could be solved using a relatively simple procedure. Although no case of a congenital divided melanocytic nevus that became malignant has been reported, it is considered desirable that lesions be excised as completely as possible. Although laser irradiation can be performed at certain intervals, it has the disadvantage of possibly leaving a pigmented lesion after the treatment. A skin graft after complete excision is commonly performed [2]. However, it may be difficult to have satisfactory results with a skin graft due to the difference in the color and texture of the skin. In this case, the upper eyelid scar was successfully hidden and a satisfactory outcome was achieved via complete anatomical excision of the nevi and via reconstruction using blepharoplasty. No particular complications were observed in the 6 months follow-up, and the patient’s psychological stress due to the nevus was cleared and he was very satisfied (Fig. 3).
