Popis: Adult-onset xanthogranuloma (AOX) is one of the four uncommon syndromes called adult xanthogranulomatous disease (AXD), which is diagnosed by characteristic histopathology. AXD is rare and heterogeneous group of entities that can affect multiple organ systems. Orbital involvement is included in the xanthogranulomatous disease although less prevalent. This work focuses on the use of external beam radiotherapy in the control of local symptoms of periocular manifestation of AOX as case report and literature review.
