Abstract：
PURPOSE:To describe a case of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) that involved the anterior uveal tract. DESIGN:Interventional case report. METHODS:A retrospective review was conducted on a patient with iris nodules and anterior uveitis in the setting of LCH. Visual acuity and clinical findings that were noted on slit lamp biomicroscopy were extracted. RESULTS:An 18-year-old male patient with unilateral anterior segment inflammation and iris nodules experienced visual improvement from 20/200 to 20/25 after treatment with a 5-day course of topical corticosteroids. Regression of the iris nodules and anterior segment inflammation was also noted. Bone marrow aspirate confirmed recurrent, active LCH. CONCLUSION:The clinician should include LCH in the differential diagnosis when faced with anterior segment inflammation in conjunction with iris nodules. Additionally, LCH can be treated successfully with topical corticosteroid therapy.
