Juvenile xanthogranuloma of the iris managed with superficial radiotherapy.

P M MacLeod.   

Abstract

A case of juvenile xanthogranuloma involving the iris successfully managed with superficial radiotherapy is presented. A review of the literature suggests that this benign condition, if progressive or extensive, is optimally treated with radiotherapy as an alternative to major surgical procedures, including enucleation.
