    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Histopathology

    Background:

    • Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare, benign histiocytic disorder affecting infants and young children.
    • Ocular involvement in JXG can lead to significant visual impairment if not managed promptly.

    Observation:

    • This study describes three infants diagnosed with JXG, with two presenting ocular involvement.
    • Histological examination revealed novel findings of lipid vacuoles in smooth muscle cells of erector pili and Schwann cells of small nerves.
    • Lipid vacuoles were also detected in mast cells, supporting a histioxanthomatous response to local tissue injury.

    Findings:

    • One infant with ocular JXG responded to topical corticosteroid and mydriatic therapy.
    • Another infant with ocular JXG required irradiation for treatment.

  • The third infant had only cutaneous JXG lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Treatment strategies for JXG should be individualized based on the extent and location of lesions.
    • Topical corticosteroid therapy may be a curative option for uncomplicated cases of JXG.
    • Prompt and appropriate management is crucial for ocular JXG to prevent serious complications.
