  • Title: [Juvenile xanthogranuloma of the corneoscleral limbus in adults].
    Author: Castro-Gómez M, Villena-Irigoyen O, Caballero-González S, Vergara Alcaide E.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2014 Jun; 89(6):242-4. PubMed ID: 24269431.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: A 25-year-old woman noticed a painless yellow-orange mass on her right eye. Her visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes, and a slit-lamp examination showed a yellow-orange mass located at the superior limbus of the right eye. No other ocular abnormalities were observed. DISCUSSION: Surgical excision was carried out and the lesion was sent for histological examination. This showed a granulomatous lesion, rich in Touton-type giant cells, features that are strongly suggestive of juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG). Ocular involvement occurs in 10% of cases of JXG.
