RESUMO
El xantogranuloma es una lesión poco frecuente que caracteriza al amplio grupo de las histiocitosis de células no Langerhans (NLCH). Se describen diferentes variantes de NLCH: xantoma, xantogranuloma juvenil, xantoma disseminatum, xantogranuloma necrobiótico, retículohistiocitosis, enfermedad de Rosai Dorfman y un conjunto heterogéneo de enfermedades infrecuentes que comparten manifestaciones cutáneas e histopatológicas comunes y que se describen como enfermedad xantogranulomatosa orbitaria del adulto (EXOA). La enfermedad de Erdheim Chester (EEC) está incluida en este último grupo. Nuestro objetivo es describir un caso clínico con gran compromiso sistémico y lesiones cutáneas en ambos párpados superiores e inferiores que invalidaban a la paciente física y psicológicamente. Presentamos su resolución quirúrgica con resección amplia de lesiones y reconstrucción con injertos de piel total con un muy buen resultado estético y funcional. (AU)
Xanthogranuloma is a rare lesion that characterizes the large group of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (NLCH). Different variants of NLCH: xanthoma, juvenile xanthogranuloma, xanthoma disseminatum, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, reticulum histiocytosis, Rosai Dorfman disease, and a heterogeneous set of rare diseases that share common cutaneous and histopathological manifestations are described as orbital xanthogranulomatous disease of the adult (EXOA). Erdheim Chester disease (ECD) is included in this last group. Our objective is to describe a clinical case with great systemic involvement and skin lesions in both upper and lower eyelids that invalidate the patient physically and psychologically. We present its surgical resolution with wide resection of lesions and reconstruction with total skin grafts with a very good aesthetic and functional result. (AU)

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) is an indolent non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by yellow xanthomatous plaques that tend to ulcerate. Necrobiotic xanthogranulomas have a predilection for the bilateral periorbital region and often present with consequential ophthalmic findings. Histopathology usually reveals a distinctive pattern of histiocytic xanthogranuloma with hyaline necrobiosis. Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma has been documented to have a close association with paraproteinemia. We report the case of a 76-year-old man with periorbital NXG without development of a monoclonal gammopathy. Clinically, the patient presented with dry eyes and substantial periorbital edema with multiple yellow indurated plaques. He developed the condition 30 years prior to presentation at which time it was initially diagnosed as xanthelasma. He underwent surgical excision of the lesions 10 years prior to the current presentation and biopsy results revealed a diagnosis of NXG. The periorbital lesions recurred several years prior to presentation, prompting annual computed tomography scans to rule out ocular invasion. Periorbital edema and plaques improved during a 6-month regimen of acitretin but returned to baseline just months after discontinuation.
