- Abstract
A 40-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of a mass on her right lower eyelid, which had been present for 1 year and had increased in size over the last month. She had previously received several topical and systemic treatments with a diagnosis of chalazion. Upon examination, a round, elevated, yellow-colored mass measuring 1×1 cm was noted on the lateral part of the right lower eyelid, including the eyelid margin. There was a hemorrhagic crust and eyelash loss on the lesion. The patient underwent an excisional biopsy, and the lesion was sent for histopathologic examination. Histopathology revealed that the cells of the lesion were widely positive for CD68, while Langerin, CD1A, and S100 were negative. This finding was consistent with a juvenile xanthogranuloma. On the 15th day post-operation, a recurrence was observed, and a re-excision was performed, with the injection of 0.1 cc of dexamethasone subcutaneously. No recurrence was observed at the 6-month follow-up.
