A bstract A 50‐year‐old woman presented with a nodular swelling on her right upper eyelid. The tumour was diagnosed as osteolipoma histologically after resection. Osteolipoma is a very rare variant of lipoma and only a few cases affecting the head and neck are reported in literature. To the best of the author's knowledge this is the first reported case of osteolipoma of the eyelid.
