ABSTRACT

A 32-year-old woman presented with cystic eyelid lesions accompanied by foul-smelling discharge. Excision biopsy showed that she had Darier disease, and she was referred to dermatology for further management. Despite clinically indolent-looking lesions, biopsy and histology allowed the diagnosis of this rare condition to be made.
