Ocular complications of graft-versus-host disease are well documented. While skin changes due to graft-versus-host disease have been mentioned in the literature, cicatricial ectropion has not been previous reported. The authors present a case of a 31-year-old male with cicatricial ectropion secondary to graft-versus-host disease requiring treatment with a full thickness skin graft.
