Superficial subcutaneous lipomas are benign, slow-growing neoplasms comprised mature adipose cells that may be surrounded by a fibrous tissue capsule. While found commonly on the body, simple lipomas are rarely described in the eyelids. Reports of two eyelid lipomas in the literature describe the anatomy to be posterior to the orbital septum. The presenting authors report the case of a simple lipoma of the eyelid found fully in the preseptal plane. Lipomas can occur anterior to the orbital septum and should be considered in the differential when presented with a painless, slow-growing eyelid mass in adults.
