## TL;DR

An elderly woman had a two-year issue with swollen, red eyelids, diagnosed as a rare vascular condition through imaging and biopsy.

## Contribution

This case report adds to the understanding of acquired venous malformations in eyelid tissues.

## Key findings

- Doppler ultrasonography showed a low-flow vascular pattern in the eyelids.
- Skin biopsy confirmed vascular hyperplasia with irregular slit-like vessels.
- The condition was diagnosed as acquired venous malformation based on clinical and histological findings.

## Abstract

An elderly female presented with a two‐year history of bilateral erythematous swellings on the upper eyelids. Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated a low‐flow vascular pattern. Skin biopsy revealed vascular hyperplasia characterized by slit‐like irregular vessels. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of acquired venous malformation of the bilateral upper eyelids was established.
