Purpose:
To report a case of diffuse xanthogranuloma presenting as bilateral anterior uveitis in a neonate.
Observations:
A neonate was brought by the parents with complaints of redness, watering, and photophobia in both eyes for 10 days. Examination under anesthesia revealed the presence of bilateral hyphema, fibrinous membrane, corneal haze, and raised intraocular pressure (IOP). Ultrasound Biomicroscopy revealed diffuse bilateral iris thickening. The child was managed medically with topical glaucoma medications, topical steroids, and cycloplegics. The child responded well with the resolution of hyphema, anterior chamber inflammation, and reduction of IOP.
Conclusion And Importance:
In neonates and infants presenting with bilateral uveitis, spontaneous hyphema, and secondary glaucoma, even in the absence of a well-defined iris lesion, diffuse juvenile xanthogranuloma should be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
