Abstract
PURPOSE Histiocytosis is one of the most challenging diseases in medical practice. Because of the broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, systemic involvements, unknown etiology, and complex management, different types of histiocytosis are still a big question mark for us. Orbital histiocytosis is characterized by the abnormal proliferation of histiocytes in orbital tissues. It could affect the orbit, eyelid, conjunctiva, and uveal tract. Orbital histiocytosis can cause limited eye movement, proptosis, decreased visual acuity, and epiphora. In this study, we review the novel findings regarding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of different types of histiocytosis, focusing on their orbital manifestations. METHOD This review was performed based on a search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases or relevant published papers regarding orbital histiocytosis on October 9th, 2023. No time restriction was proposed, and articles were excluded if they were not referenced in English. RESULTS 391 articles were screened, most of them being case reports. The pathophysiology of histiocytosis is still unclear. However, different mutations are found to be prevalent in most of the patients. The diagnostic path can be different based on various factors such as age, lesion site, type of histiocytosis, and the stage of the disease. Some modalities, such as corticosteroids and surgery, are used widely for treatment. On the other hand, based on some specific etiological factors for each type, alternative treatments have been proposed. CONCLUSION Significant progress has been made in the detection of somatic molecular changes. Many case studies describe various disease patterns influencing the biological perspectives on different types of histiocytosis. It is necessary to continue investigating and clustering data from a broad range of patients with histiocytosis in children and adults to define the best ways to diagnose and treat these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The "C group" of the histiocytic disorders is characterized by non-Langerhans-cell histiocytic lesions in the skin, mucosal surfaces, or both, out of which Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common typically affecting the skin. The eye is the most common extra-cutaneous site of JXG., we aim at providing our clinical and histopathological experience with this group of diseases including the adult-onset xanthogranuloma (AXG). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of all patients with the tissue diagnosis of ocular and periocular cutaneous and mucocutaneous non-LCH disorders who presented to us over a period of 25 years (January 1993 to December 2018). RESULTS Twenty patients were diagnosed as "Group C" disease with an age range of 2 months-60.9 years. Eleven patients were females (55%) and nine were males (45%). The involvement was mostly unilateral in 80.9%. All cases fell into the xanthogranuloma family with 11 JXG patients, 8 AXG patients of skin and ocular surface, and one patient with solitary reticulohistiocytoma (SRH). The clinical site of involvement in JXG was primarily in the eyelid in 5 patients (45%), ocular surface lesions in 2 (18%), iris in 2 (18%), choroidal and bilateral orbital lesions in 1 patient each (9%). The group of AXG, presented equally with eyelid lesions in 4/8 and ocular surface lesions in 4/8. The non-Langerhans' histiocytic infiltrate showed supportive immunohistochemical staining properties (reactive to CD68 marker and negative to S-100 and langerin markers). CONCLUSION Among the rare histiocytic disorders, xanthogranulomatosis is the commonest and has wide clinical manifestations. Accurate diagnosis needs to be supported by typical histopathological findings. JXG was the commonest in our study with relatively older mean age at presentation and frequent eyelid rather than iris involvement. AXG is often confused with xanthelasma when involving the eyelids with corneal limbal involvement is relatively frequent.

[PMID: 36526862 PMCID: PMC10397269 DOI: 10.1038/s41433-022-02357-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult orbital xanthogranulomatous disease (AOXGD) is a group of rare disorders. Four subtypes are identified: adult-onset xanthogranuloma (AOX), adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX), necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NBX), and Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD). Therapy options vary and little is known about the long-term effect of the treatment. In this study, we will describe the clinical behaviour, effect of treatment, and long-term outcome in a consecutive series of patients with AOXGD. METHODS This is a descriptive, retrospective study with a long follow-up term of 21 patients with histologically proven AOXGD, treated between 1989 and 2021 in the Rotterdam Eye Hospital and Erasmus MC University Medical Center. RESULTS Twenty-one patients with histologically proven AOXGD were included. The follow-up ranged from 2-260 months (median of 67 months). Six of the nine patients with AOX were treated with surgery alone, with recurrence in two. Three received systemic therapy, with recurrence in one. All four patients with AAPOX received systemic treatment, the disease recurred in two. Two patients with NBX were treated with surgery alone, with recurrence in one. Four required additional therapy with recurrence in two. Both patients with ECD required systemic therapy. CONCLUSIONS Recognition of AOXGD is important, in particular, because of the potential severe systemic locations in the different subtypes. Surgical excision might be a sufficient therapy for patients with AOX. Patients with AAPOX, NBX, and ECD warrant systemic therapy. Currently, there is no conclusive evidence for a superior treatment strategy, but further studies are necessary to investigate treatment options.

Abstract
Purpose To present a case of adult onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX), and discuss existing literature on adult orbital xanthogranulomatous diseases (AOXGDs) and their treatment. Observations A 63 year old male presented with progressive bilateral eyelid swelling with overlying yellow plaques associated with asthma. CT scan showed periorbital swelling with enlargement of the superior and lateral rectus muscles bilaterally. Biopsy demonstrated orbital xanthogranulomatous disease with increased IgG4 plasma cells. The patient was treated with intralesional triamcinolone, oral prednisone, and cyclophosphamide without significant improvement. Surgical debulking was eventually performed which improved his external symptoms until he was lost to follow up 15 months later. Conclusions and Importance AOXGDs are a group of rare infiltrative diseases of the eyelids and orbit that can be associated with significant systemic morbidities. While they all have similar underlying histopathologic features, appreciating the clinical difference between these diseases is important in understanding patient prognosis and ensuring appropriate clinical monitoring. There is also growing research demonstrating that AAPOX, along with other AOXGDs, may represent part of a continuum of IgG4 related disease, similar to what is seen in this case. There is currently no reliably effective treatment for AOXGDs, and additional research into the management of these diseases is necessary.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Requests for cosmetic eyelid surgery are frequent. The surgeon must carry out a complete clinical examination in order to rule out any orbital pathologies responsible for eyelid pockets. METHODS Study of ten patients who have consulted in the oculopalpebral surgery department of La Fondation Ophtalmologique de Rothschild for cosmetic surgery of the eyelid pockets and in whom an underlying pathology was diagnosed. RESULTS The clinical examination allows to look for signs of alarms, such as medical history, unilateral involvement, pain and the presence of exophthalmos. These should lead to perform orbital imaging and surgical biopsy if an orbital mass has been identified for histological analysis which will make the diagnosis. We identified four cases of orbital lymphoma, one foreign body granuloma, chronic bilateral dacryoadenitis, sarcoidosis involvement, AAPOX syndrom, cavernous hemangioma, and simple fatty hernia. CONCLUSION These cases shows the importance of not ignoring an underlying orbital pathology before proposing cosmetic surgery for eyelid pockets.

Abstract
Non-specific orbital inflammation (NSOI) is a noninfectious inflammatory condition of the orbit. Although it is generally considered the most common diagnosis derived from an orbital biopsy, it is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that the diagnosis requires exclusion of a systemic process or another identifiable etiology of orbital inflammation. The clinical diagnosis of NSOI is ill-defined, but it is typically characterized by acute orbital signs and symptoms, including pain, proptosis, periorbital edema, chemosis, diplopia, and less commonly visual disturbance. NSOI poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge: The clinical presentations and histological findings are heterogeneous, and there are no specific diagnostic criteria or treatment guidelines. The etiology and pathogenesis of NSOI are poorly understood. Here we recapitulate our current clinical understanding of NSOI, with an emphasis on the most recent findings on clinical characteristics, imaging findings, and treatment outcomes. Furthermore, gene expression profiling of NSOI and its implications are presented and discussed.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4RD) is a systemic fibro-inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology, which is characterized by tumefactive lymphoplasmatocytic infiltrative lesions, with a predominance of IgG4 positive plasma cells, fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis. Adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX) is a rare disease of unknown aetiology characterized by violaceous or yellow cutaneous papules and nodules usually accompanied with adult-onset asthma. We report a case of IgG4RD associated with AAPOX. We also conducted a literature search with keywords including IgG4RD and AAPOX. A 36-year-old woman presented with bilateral exophthalmos and periorbital oedema. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, painless left parotid gland and submandibular left lymph node enlargement were also noted. Two and half years ago biopsy of yellow plaques of her right lower eyelid confirmed periorbital xanthogranuloma. She underwent parotid gland biopsy which showed IgG4RD. She was treated with steroids and two cycles of rituximab with complete remission. The literature review revealed 8 articles describing 14 cases with IgG4RD and AAPOX, 9 men and 5 women (ratio M:F = 1.8:1) were affected. The age at diagnosis was greater in men compared to women. In the majority of patients, ophthalmic presentation included bilateral upper and lower eyelid swelling while systemic features were asthma, lacrimal and parotid involvement, lymphadenopathy, sclerosing pancreatitis and sclerosing cholangitis. Prednisone and rituximab were effective treatments. It has to be clarified whether the association between IgG4RD and AAPOX represents shared pathophysiology, a common underlying cause or coincidence. Rituximab added to steroids resulted in complete remission of the two entities.

Abstract
Adult xanthogranulomatous disease of the orbit is a rare and incompletely understood entity. It can be limited to the orbit or be associated with systemic disease. While routine systemic surveillance is the standard of care for patients with orbital xanthogranulomatous disease, there is no universally accepted protocol for managing periorbital and orbital involvement. The authors report a case of adult orbital xanthogranuloma, without systemic disease, who, after 10 years of observation, demonstrated sustained radiographic regression of the lesions. To the authors' knowledge, this represents one of the first reports of spontaneous regression of untreated orbital xanthogranuloma, and supports observation of lesions that do not compromise ocular function. We present our case in the context of a major review of various treatment strategies described in the literature, including surgical resection, radiotherapy, plasmapheresis, corticosteroids, multiple immunomodulatory medications.

Abstract
Xanthogranuloma is an uncommon tumor in the ocular adnexa. It usually presents as diffuse lid swelling with or without orbital involvement. Xanthogranulomas can be associated with systemic comorbidities. They are diagnosed by their characteristic pathological finding. They are further subclassified based on immunohistochemistry. We present two cases with lid swelling which were diagnosed to be xanthogranuloma. Our cases were special because of the unique presentation as localized monomorphic lesions.

Abstract
Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) is a chronic, progressive non-Langerhans histiocytic granulomatous disease. While case reports describing periorbital involvement of NXG are frequent, only a few case reports describing ocular involvement, such as scleritis and uveitis, exist. Herein, we present a case presenting initially as bilateral anterior and posterior scleritis, as well as a chronic bilateral granulomatous panuveitis, and discuss the immunosuppressant options that should be considered for this disease with protean manifestations.

Abstract
Adult xanthogranulomatous disease of the orbit refers to a heterogeneous group of clinical syndromes with differing degrees of systemic involvement and distinct prognoses. The different syndromes all present clinically with progressively enlarging, yellowish lesions of the orbit. Histologically, the lesions are characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate of foam cells and Touton-type multinucleated giant cells. The xanthomatized histiocytes are CD68+, S100-, and CD1a-. There are 4 clinical forms of xanthogranulomatous disease of the orbit: adult xanthogranulomatous disease of the orbit, adult onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, and Erdheim-Chester disease. The treatment of local lesions are treated with systemic corticosteroids and other immunosuppressors. Vemurafenib, tocilizumab, and sirolimus have shown promising results in systemic disease.

Abstract
Adult xanthogranulomatous disease involving the ocular or orbital tissues is rare. The authors present a 63-year-old asthmatic woman with progressive left eyelid ptosis and fatigue in whom this diagnosis was clinically suspected on the basis of the characteristic waxy indurated yellow periocular and conjunctival lesions. These findings prompted an incisional biopsy which found evidence of Touton giant cells, necessitating a systemic evaluation which excluded the presence of hematological abnormalities or malignancy. The simultaneous occurrence of conjunctival, eyelid, and orbital xanthogranulomas has not been previously described in adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma. The lesions were responsive to long-term systemic immunosuppression.

Abstract
The effort to subdivide diseases and to individualize therapies based on characteristics of the patient has been labeled precision medicine. Jameson and Longo define precision medicine as "treatments targeted to the needs of individual patients on the basis of genetic, biomarker, phenotypic or psychosocial characteristics that distinguish a given patient from other patients with similar clinical presentations" (Jameson and Longo, 2015). We illustrate how molecular diagnosis can be applied to orbital inflammatory disease to achieve the goals of precision medicine.

Abstract
Xanthogranuloma is a benign disease represented as histiocytosis with lipoid deposition which usually occurs in children, but rarely in adults. We report a case of an adult patient with multiple subcutaneous xanthogranuloma at juxta-articular sites with bone cystic changes, manifesting similar clinical profiles to rheumatoid arthritis. Although very rare, we should consider the possibility of xanthogranulomatosis in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, especially in atypical cases.

Abstract
Adult onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX) is a rare non-Langerhans histiocytosis characterized histopathologically by a periocular infiltration of foamy histiocytes and Touton giant cells. Benign hyperplasia with plasma cell infiltration is classically described in eyelids or lymph nodes of AAPOX patients. It is also a characteristic feature of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), a new entity defined by an IgG4-bearing plasma cell infiltration of organs.To determine if AAPOX syndrome shares clinical, biological, and histopathological characteristics with IgG4-RD, we used the comprehensive clinical diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD in a retrospective case series of three consecutive patients with histologically-proven AAPOX. Patients who were diagnosed with AAPOX at a French academic referral center for orbital inflammation between November 1996 and March 2013 were enrolled. Biopsies from ocular adnexa or other organs were systematically reexamined. For each patient, clinical and serological data, radiologic findings, and treatment were retrospectively analyzed.Two AAPOX patients fulfilled all of the diagnostic criteria for a definite IgG4-RD. One patient who lacked the serological criteria fulfilled the criteria of a probable IgG4-RD.These 3 cases of AAPOX patients fulfilled the IgG4-RD comprehensive clinical diagnostic criteria. To our knowledge, this is the first observational case report study to clearly show a strong relationship between IgG4-RD and AAPOX syndrome.

Abstract
Adult orbital xanthogranulomatous diseases are rare entities and encompass a group of disorders with varying manifestations that are poorly understood. Taken as a group, there are non-Langerhans histiocytic disorders (type II) that are diagnosed histologically by the presence of foamy histiocytes, Touton giant cells, and varying degrees of fibrosis. Based on the accompanying systemic associations, there are 4 main categories of adult xanthogranulomatous disease: adult-onset xanthogranuloma, adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, and Erdheim-Chester disease. Herein, we discuss the etiopathogenesis, systemic associations, methods of diagnosis, and treatment options for these disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adult-onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma and adult-onset xanthogranuloma are 2 rare subtypes of non-Langerhans cell histiocytic disorder and much remains unknown regarding optimal treatment. The authors describe their experience in the management of these 2 disease subtypes. METHODS This is a retrospective case series with histopathologically proven orbital xanthogranuloma over a period of 12 years. Clinical, imaging, and histopathologic features; associated systemic conditions; treatment modality; and outcome during follow-up of 6 adult patients who had adult-onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma and adult-onset xanthogranuloma were reviewed. RESULTS The age range was 29-75 years (median 56 years). The duration of symptoms and signs varied from 10 months to 9 years. All patients had bilateral and asymmetric involvement. Palpebral swelling with yellow discoloration and upper eyelid ptosis were the most common signs. Adult-onset asthma was present in 2 patients. Imaging studies demonstrated ill-defined infiltrative lesions involving the preseptal area, lacrimal glands, extraocular muscles, retrobulbar fat, and optic nerves. The median follow-up was 50 months. Complete regression of all clinical signs was obtained at 8 months, whereas imaging findings disappeared at 18 months with treatment. No recurrence was observed. CONCLUSIONS Treatment consisting of debulking as much affected soft tissue as possible followed by a 3-day course of intravenous pulse methylprednisolone administration and then by oral prednisone for at least 6 months may provide adequate regression of the granulomas without recurrence and satisfactory cosmesis in patients with adult orbital xanthogranuloma with and without asthma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report some novel findings concerning the systemic manifestations and treatment of adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma, a rare type of non-Langerhans histiocytosis that can lead to important visual dysfunction. METHODS A retrospective case series of 2 patients was evaluated for orbital and systemic manifestations using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT and/or orbital MRI. Histological specimens were reviewed in all patients. Oral prednisone was initiated at 1 mg/kg daily and gradually tapered to a minimum effective dose. Efficacy was assessed on the basis of an objective observation of decreased swelling. RESULTS One patient displayed original uptake foci involving intrathoracic lymphadenopathies, the trajectory of the paraumbilical vein and perirectal fat. Low-dose prednisone was able to induce a durable response in the authors' patients. CONCLUSIONS Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT may be useful for the diagnostic workup and follow-up assessment of patients with adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma. Oral corticosteroids can be used successfully as first-line treatment in such patients.

Abstract
Introduction: Orbital masses in adults are often caused by systemic diseases or are associated with systemic manifestations. Juvenile xanthogranuloma as a cause is rare and unreported in Africa. We present clinical features, management, and outcomes of bilateral orbital adult onset juvenile xanthogranuloma. Case Presentation: A 27 year old Nigerian woman presented with bilateral upper-lid lumps having lasted 5 months. These increased in size for about 1 month and stopped. Lid swelling was preceded by itchy eyes, redness of conjunctiva, and occasional mild pain. There were no visual or systemic symptoms. The lumps were firm, slightly mobile, not tender, and not attached to skin but rather to deeper structures. There was restriction on up-gaze but no proptosis or diplopia. Hematological, biochemical, and X-ray investigations were normal. Prednisolone tablets 10 mg daily for two weeks were not useful. Tissue biopsy was invaluable in diagnosis of this rare condition and disclosed juvenile xanthogranuloma. Partial surgical excision was done under lidocaine infiltration. No recurrence has occurred in 40 months of follow-up. No systemic disease has manifested. Conclusion: Juvenile xanthogranuloma can present as bilateral superior orbital tumor in adults; functional and cosmetic aims were achieved by sub-total excision.

Abstract
Adult orbital xanthogranulomatous disease (AOXGD) is a rare granulomatous disorder, which has four subtypes: adult-onset xanthogranuloma (AOX), adult-onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma and Erdheim-Chester disease. We report a 42-year-old woman who presented with yellowish nonulcerative nodules on her eyelids. On histopathological examination of a nodule, mild degeneration of collagen fibres was seen, with surrounding infiltration of numerous foam cells and Touton giant cells in the deep dermis. Lymphoid follicles were seen in the reticular dermis. There was no apparent necrobiosis of collagen fibres. There were no clinical symptoms of asthma and no laboratory signs of paraproteinaemia during a follow-up of more than 5 years. We diagnosed this case as AOX, but further long-term follow-up would be required for the differentiation from the other AOXGDs. Dermatologists should be aware of these rare granulomatous disease conditions with ocular/orbital location, because they may cause ophthalmological complications.

A 55-year-old obese Mexican American male with a 3-year history of adult-onset asthma presented with a 10-year history of disfiguring eyelid edema. A biopsy revealed lymphoid aggregates consisting of reactive lymphoid follicles and Touton giant cells. He was diagnosed with adult-onset asthma associated with periocular xanthogranuloma and treated with systemic steroids. This case highlights an uncommon disease in its most severe presentation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the authors' experience with azathioprine and prednisone combination for adult periocular and orbital xanthogranulomatous disease. METHODS We identified 13 adults with histology-proven periocular or orbital xanthogranuloma in two tertiary referral orbital centres from 1984 to 2008. Patient records were reviewed and data collected on orbital localization, immune dysfunction, applied treatment and outcome. RESULTS Five patients with periocular or orbital xanthogranulomatous disease were fully treated with prednisone and azathioprine combination, which resulted in stabilization in two and regression in three. Two other patients had to discontinue azathioprine because of side-effects. Of the non-fully treated prednisone/azathioprine patients, four out of eight progressed. CONCLUSION In adult periocular and orbital xanthogranuloma, combined treatment with prednisone and azathioprine yields adequate immunosuppression, often for a prolonged period of time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma is an uncommon and recently described disease. Little is known about the condition because only a few case reports and series are available. OBJECTIVE/METHODS To describe the clinical manifestations, lung physiology, and response to systemic treatment of three patients with adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma, followed by a review of the literature. RESULTS Three men, with an age at diagnosis ranging from 48 to 51 years, presented with right periorbital swelling, asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis. The patients' lung physiology was consistent with airway obstruction. Diagnosis was established by periorbital biopsy. All patients received oral corticosteroids for their periorbital swelling, without significant clinical response. Two patients received oral methotrexate, with nearly complete resolution of periorbital swelling. A third patient received oral azathioprine, without clinical response. The three patients had improvement of their asthma with inhaled steroids/long-acting bronchodilator, and immunosuppressive medication. CONCLUSION A triad consisting of periorbital swelling, asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis should raise the suspicion of adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma. Oral methotrexate should be considered as an alternative to corticosteroids in the treatment of this disorder.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of the pathologic features of adult orbital xanthogranulomatous disease, a rare heterogeneous group of disorders that includes 4 clinical syndromes: adult-onset xanthogranuloma, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma, and Erdheim-Chester disease. The diagnosis is made by biopsy of the lesion, demonstrating tissue infiltration by the hallmarks of xanthoma cells and Touton giant cells. The differential diagnosis is broad, including syndromes within the adult xanthogranulomatous disease category as well as other entities involving the eyelid and the orbital tissues. Because of its rarity and sometimes close similarity to other disease entities, it is often misdiagnosed initially. This article focuses on the morphology and immunohistochemical patterns in diagnosis of adult orbital xanthogranulomatous disease with emphasis on adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma in particular, its clinical features and associated systemic manifestations in differential diagnosis, as well as the current management strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To familiarize rheumatologists and internists with the signs, symptoms, and management of orbital inflammatory disease (OID). METHODS A comprehensive literature review related to OID was performed and reported from the perspectives of rheumatology, ophthalmology, and radiology. RESULTS OID is a general term encompassing inflammatory diseases that affect some or all of the structures contained within the orbit external to the globe. Orbital involvement as a part of the initial symptom complex is not uncommon for systemic diseases such as Graves' disease, Wegener's granulomatosis, and sarcoidosis. The management of these and other causes of OID, such as idiopathic orbital inflammation (formerly known as "orbital pseudotumor"), orbital myositis, and Tolosa-Hunt syndrome frequently involves systemic immunosuppression. Before immunosuppression is considered, however, infectious and malignant causes of inflammation must be ruled out. DISCUSSION Rheumatologists should be familiar with the differential diagnosis of OID and often need to assist colleagues in ophthalmology and internal medicine with the management of this group of diseases.
