On examination, a blue-grey mass over left upper eyelid and conjunctival fornix was noted. CT revealed a localized lid mass in left upper eyelid. Complete resection of the tumor was done via lid crease incision, and the pathology disclosed a lymphangioma.Conclusion: Lymphangioma is an uncommon vascular malformation that was usually diagnosed in early childhood.
