Abstract
Kissing nevus or divided nevus is a rare form of congenital nevus that usually occurs on adjacent parts of the upper and lower eyelids of one eye. Most often, the formation is present since birth, but it may also appear later during the course of life. We are reporting a case of kissing nevus of eyelids in 27 year old female present since birth and treated by microdissection radiofrequency ablation (MRA) over a period of 4 months in 2 sittings and patient was followed up regularly on OPD basis. It showed good cosmetic results without any structural and functional impairment. With the advantage of simplicity, precision and effectiveness, radiofrequency ablation can be used to treat kissing nevus with good cosmetic results and skin grafting can be avoided.
