 AB    We reviewed the adnexal and orbital findings in a large population with
       HIV infection followed in one medical center. Around 6% of the series
       had positive periocular findings. In 1% of the series, the periocular
       findings were the first manifestation of HIV infection or AIDS. We
       present the first case of basal cell carcinoma in an HIV-infected
       individual; the carcinoma involved the eyelid. Orbital findings included
       lymphoma, cellulitis, Kaposi's sarcoma, and nonspecific inflammatory
       disease. Adnexal findings included Kaposi's sarcoma, molluscum
       contagiosum, bacterial folliculitis, madarosis, psoriasis, basal cell
       carcinoma, and chalazion. Additional opportunistic infections and tumors
       involving the periocular region are expected to be reported in the
       future.
