Ophthalmic histiocytic lesions: a baseline demographic and clinicopathological study of 28 cases from two eye centers

ConclusionsHistiocytic disease is more likely to be overlooked clinically owing to its rarity. In the C group, juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) was the most commonly encountered histiocytic lesion and had a tendency to present at a later age with extremely rare intraocular involvement in contrast to previously published reports. The median age at presentation was higher in group R. All patients in group L had strictly unilateral disease, while RDD (group R) was most commonly bilateral. Future research on genetic aspects, management, and prognosis is necessary.
