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.
