Multiple Juvenile Xanthogranuloma of the EyelidsDOI: 10.1159/000478101 Keywords: Juvenile xanthogranuloma, Eyelid, Touton giant cells, Non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis Abstract: Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare and benign tumor in infants. A solitary lesion on the eyelid has been reported in patients with JXG. We report a 15-year-old boy with multiple involvement of JXG on both eyelids. A mass on the left inner canthus was resected because of disturbance of the visual field and a risk of malignancy in terms of central ulceration in the lesion. The mass was examined by light microscopy. The mass had Touton giant cells with a wreath of nuclei surrounded by foamy histiocytes. No malignancy was observed. The mass showed no recurrence after resection
