“…The ocular symptoms include unilateral atraumatic hyphaema, iritis, decreased visual acuity and secondary glaucoma due to the obstruction of the iridocorneal angle by the iris tumor. 7 Nowadays, fine needle aspiration cytology from the lesion or the aqueous may lead to the diagnosis of the juvenile xanthogranuloma, 8 but in most cases, the diagnosis “intraocular juvenile xanthogranuloma” is based on the clinical picture alone. 9 Zimmerman et al.…”

PurposeJuvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare histiocytic skin disease primarily of young children, which may also affect ocular structures and in particular the iris.ObservationsThis is a case report of a fifty-year-old patient without skin lesions showing a progressive decrease of visual acuity, iris vascularization and a yellowish iris tumor in the iridocorneal angle of his right eye. Treatment with topical and systemic prednisolone led to full recovery of visual acuity, tumor regression and restitutio ad integrum.Conclusions and importanceAlthough the juvenile xanthogranuloma is a very rare skin disease of young children, it may also affect the eye and in particular the iris in adult patients. There exists no standard treatment, the first-line therapy in most cases, however, is topical and systemic prednisolone application.

We report a case of juvenile xanthogranuloma in a 12-month-old girl presenting with heterochromia, hyphema, and elevated intraocular pressure. This case demonstrates new ultrasound biomicroscopy iris findings of a generalized bumpy iris contour, suggesting diffuse heterogeneous involvement. This imaging finding has not been previously described. Untreated, iris juvenile xanthogranuloma may lead to corneal blood staining, glaucoma, and amblyopia. An understanding of the full range of ultrasound features of juvenile xanthogranuloma expands our appreciation for the clinical findings in this condition.
