Milia en plaque is an unusual and rare variant of milia. We now report a Chinese man with numerous milia within an erythematous plaque of the upper and lower eyelids; histology confirmed the diagnosis and showed pericystic inflammation. All but one of the previous 10 reported cases affected the ear or adjacent sites, and to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of milia en plaque affecting the eyelids.
