Abstract

Introduction & Objectives : Kissing nevus is a condition where the nevus extends up to the lid margins, its edges touch or “kiss” when the eyelids are closed. Although commonly presenting at birth, there have been cases where it appeared in later life. This occurs due to a rare embryological phenomenon and thus only 30 cases have been reported worldwide until 2020. Meanwhile in M Djamil Hospital Padang we found 4 cases during 2020-2022. This paper is aim to present this so called rare cases in a modest way Methods : This is a descriptive study related to kissing nevus cases in M Djamil Hospital Padang during 2020-2022. We diagnosed it clinically based on ophthalmology examination. The data were collected into master table and being analyzed. We put patient’s identity (name, age, and gender), nevus location, size, gross anatomy of the nevus and surgical procedure Results : Four patients were discussed in this study. Most of the patients (75%) is a woman. We found more cases in the first 2 decades of life (50%). The predilection location is at the temporal eyelid (50%), it’s size is equal, both (10-19 mm and 20-29 mm) is 50%. In study we only found a melanotic lesion (100%). Most of the patient were treated with excision biopsy + skin flap (75%) Conclusion : The prevalence of kissing nevus in M Djamil Hospital is high. Kissing nevus mostly suffered by young women, most cases affected temporal eyelid, the size 10-29 mm so that skin flap is the most suitable surgical procedure

Abstract

Background: Apocrine hidrocystomas are benign adnexal tumors of the glands of Moll, typically diagnosed in adults. Their presentation in adolescence is an exceptional clinical finding that challenges standard diagnostic paradigms for periocular masses in this age group, necessitating a broad and meticulous differential diagnosis. Case presentation: A 15-year-old female presented with a two-month history of a stable, asymptomatic, 7×5×1 mm cystic mass at the inferomedial canthus of the left eye. The patient's primary concern was cosmetic. A comprehensive ophthalmologic examination was unremarkable. Orbital computed tomography confirmed a simple, preseptal subcutaneous cyst. A complete excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathological analysis revealed a unilocular cyst lined by a double layer of epithelium with inner columnar cells demonstrating pathognomonic decapitation secretion, confirming an apocrine hidrocystoma. Conclusion: This case highlights the necessity of including apocrine hidrocystoma in the differential diagnosis of periocular masses in adolescents. The primary lesson is that a patient's age should broaden, not narrow, the diagnostic possibilities. Definitive diagnosis relies on histopathology, not demographic probability, and complete surgical excision remains the gold standard for both diagnosis and curative therapy, yielding an excellent prognosis.
