RESUMEN
A wide variety of eyelid lesions are routinely encountered in standard medical practice. Most commonly, these lesions are benign; however, malignant etiologies may present on the eyelid and require further attention. In this case, we present a 51-year-old man with no known medical history who presented to an ophthalmologist for treatment of a lesion on the left lower eyelid, which was presumed to be an inflamed chalazion. Incisional biopsy of the lesion revealed it to be Kaposi sarcoma, and the patient was subsequently diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. While uncommon, Kaposi sarcoma in the eyelid region should be considered in the differential diagnosis, as early detection could have significant impact on patient mortality.

Injectable fillers such as calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) have become increasingly prevalent given their availability as an office procedure as well as their satisfying results. Calcium hydroxylapatite is well suited for use along bony structures in the face such as the inferior orbital rim and zygoma. On the other hand, it is not well suited for injection into the soft periorbital tissues and eyelid. In this case series we describe two cases of misplaced calcium hydroxylapatite in the inferior periorbita and eyelid; with a successful and relatively quick resolution of the complication using saline injections and erbium laser treatments.
