- Abstract
Purpose: To demonstrate novel treatments for patients with high juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) eyelid lesion burden. Case Report: A 14-year-old girl was referred to the oculoplastic surgery service for management of worsening extensive bilateral eyelid and adnexal lesions in the setting of JXG. The patient underwent intra-lesional steroid injections, serial excisions, and reconstruction with skin grafts. She was subsequently treated with CO2 laser-assisted topical steroid application, which resulted in lesion regression. Conclusion: A novel multimodal approach to treatment of severe periocular JXG, incorporating surgical debulking, skin autograft, CO2 laser, and intra-lesional steroids, can be effective for lesion control.
