Limbal xanthogranuloma, a rare eye condition, presents as a yellow swelling. Early surgical intervention with keratectomy and lamellar grafting is recommended to prevent recurrence and improve cosmetic outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Limbal xanthogranuloma is a rare benign tumor.
  • It typically presents as a localized, yellowish, raised lesion at the limbus.
  • Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological examination.

Observation:

  • Three cases of histologically confirmed limbal xanthogranuloma were analyzed.
  • All patients presented with a yellow, raised limbal swelling.
  • No other ocular or systemic abnormalities were noted.

Findings:

  • Simple excision of the lesion was performed in all cases.
  • Histological examination confirmed xanthogranuloma.
  • Two patients experienced recurrence after initial excision, requiring further treatment.

Implications:

  • Recurrence of limbal xanthogranuloma can necessitate more extensive surgical procedures.
  • Primary keratectomy with lamellar grafting may reduce recurrence rates.
  • This approach may also yield better cosmetic results for patients.
