| Popis: | Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is an uncommon disorder. It belongs to the broad group of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is characterized by one or more cutaneous nodules and less often by additional lesions in the deeper soft tissue or organs themselves. Skin lesions are well-demarcated, rubbery, tan-orange papulonodules ranging from 1 to 20 mm in size. They may be single or multiple and usually occur on the head and neck. Extracutaneous locations of JXG are the lung, heart, gastrointestinal system, central nervous system, adrenal gland, pituitary gland, bones, bone marrow, and kidney. It also has a predilection for the ocular structures, especially the uveal tract. Although JXG of the eyelid is uncommon and its occurrence anywhere in the eye is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of eyelid mass lesions. We report a case of JXG in a 4-year-old child with an unusual presentation over the eyelid. |
