ABSTRACT
A 70-year-old woman with a history of Demodex blepharitis presented with a 1-year history of red-yellow nodules in the tarsus of her eyelids. Excisional biopsy revealed robust caseating granulomatous inflammation, consistent with the diagnosis of lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei. Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei is a rare granulomatous dermatosis of unknown etiology. Estimated 200 cases have been reported to date, but none have been reported affecting the posterior lamellae of the eyelids. Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei classically presents as symmetric yellow or brown papules on the central face and eyelid skin. Infectious etiologies and systemic granulomatous disease need to be ruled out with histologic staining and serologies.
