Abstract

Ocular calcinosis cutis of metastatic type is very rare. Metastatic calcinosis due to chronic renal failure is common than other causes. There are very few reports of such disorder due to hyperparathyroidism and mostly related to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Our patient was a teen age boy with single lesion in both lower lids due to primary hyperparathyroidism and was managed by surgical excision.
