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.

Keywords:
Juvenile xanthogranuloma
Corneoscleral limbus
Treatment
Non-Langerhans-cell histiocytosis
