A 10-year-old female spayed American Pitt Bull Terrier was presented with a slow growing mass on the temporal limbus area of the right eye. Canine nodular granulomatous episclerokeratitis was suspected, and the affected eye was treated with 1% prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension and 0.03% Tacrolimus ophthalmic solution. As the lesion did not respond to the medical treatments and continued to grow, the mass was excised by lamellar sclerokeratectomy. Microscopically, the mass was composed of granulomatous inflammation with intrahistiocytic lipids and lakes of acicular cholesterol clefts, histopathology findings consistent with xanthogranuloma. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first canine report of limbal xanthogranuloma.

Article Synopsis
- The "C group" of histiocytic disorders includes Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), which primarily affects the skin and is most commonly found in the eye.
- A retrospective study over 25 years diagnosed 20 patients with "Group C" disease, with 11 cases of JXG and 8 cases of adult-onset xanthogranuloma (AXG), mainly presenting unilaterally.
- JXG often presents with eyelid lesions, while AXG can be mistaken for xanthelasma, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis through histopathological analysis.

Xanthogranuloma is a benign histiocytic disorder that generally appears in infants and children and often called juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG). Typical reddish-yellow cutaneous papules or nodules are the most common presentation of JXG. Extracutaneous JXG affects eyes, brain, lungs, liver, spleen, and other sites.

Purpose: To describe and illustrate recent reclassification and clinical descriptions of the histiocytoses, diagnosis and management, and effects on the eye and adnexae.
Patients And Methods: Literature review with an illustrative case series of seven patients with histiocytosis and ophthalmic involvement from a single tertiary centre.
Results: Skin lesions with signs including eyelid mass, orbital bone destruction, bizarre keratic precipitates, limbal or iris mass, haemorrhagic anterior uveitis, subretinal lesions of uncertain etiology, ischaemic retinopathy, optic neuropathy, and apparent steroid-resistant inflammations should be comprehensively investigated.
