Giant Kissing Naevus: An Oculoplastic Challenge

Abstract

A kissing naevus is usually congenital and found in approximately 1–3% of neonates. These lesions are present at birth and gradually affect both upper and lower eyelids and extend to the eyelid margin. There is a risk of developing malignant melanoma, which ranges from 5–40%. The larger the size of the naevus, the higher the chance of developing malignant change. We present a case of a congenital melanocytic giant kissing nevus involving the entire upper and lower eyelids in a fourteen-year-old male boy who was surgically correcting the lesion. Surgical correction is always challenging to reconstruct; the eyelid looks normal. Multiple sessions are required to get the optimum result.
