Abstract
Milia en plaque is a rare type of primary milia. Most of the reported cases have occurred around the ears in adults. We report milia en plaq ue in a 10-year-old girl who presented with symmetrical erythematous p laques studded with milia on the eyelids. Histopathology revealed mili a surrounded by a dense lymphocytic infiltrate. Administration of mino cycline and manual expression of the milia successfully treated this c ondition.
