Intraocular pressure was in the normal range at both eyes and anterior segment was otherwise normal. Round, elevated, soft, and movable mass right beneath the skin was at the medial side of left upper eyelid (Fig. 1A, 1B). She did not have any pain or tenderness around the mass. We planned anterior orbitotomy for excisional biopsy, and the mass was excised completely from adjacent tissue (Fig. 1C, 1D). There was no postoperative complication. The gross specimen was a size of 3 mm (Fig. 1C, 1D). Microscopic photo reveals atypical histiocytic cells which contain eosinophilic cytoplasm and convoluted nuclei with groove (Fig. 1E). Immunohistochemical stain shows the histiocytic cells reactive to CD1a and anti-S100 protein (Fig. 1F, 1G). She was diagnosed as LCH based on the immunohistochemistry results and referred to oncology department for thorough evaluation to find other LCH lesions. Laboratory tests including complete blood count, blood chemistry, coagulation studies and thyroid function test, urine analysis, high resolution computed tomography and positron emission tomography were done. Since there was no other organ involvement found, treatment has been completed with the surgery and there has been no recurrence or other organ involvement in the 1-year follow-up period.

A Rare Case of Upper Eyelid Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.
Dear Editor, Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare systemic disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of histiocytes, rarer in adults than in children [1]. It can affect any organ, more frequently bones, skin, and pituitary gland [2]; however, ocular presentation of LCH has been scarcely reported. In this article, we report a rare case of eyelid LCH in an Asian adult. Informed consent for publication of the research details and clinical images was obtained from the patient. A 58-year-old Korean female patient presented with the left upper eyelid mass that gradually enlarged over a few years. She had no underlying disease. She had no history of cosmetic autologous fat transplantation or facial filler injection. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20 / 25 in the right eye and 20 / 20 in the left eye. Intraocular pressure was in the normal range at both eyes and anterior segment was otherwise normal. Round, elevated, soft, and movable mass right beneath the skin was at the medial side of left upper eyelid (Fig. 1A, 1B). She did not have any pain or tenderness around the mass. We planned anterior orbitotomy for excisional biopsy, and the mass was excised completely from adjacent tissue (Fig. 1C, 1D). There was no postoperative complication. The gross specimen was a size of 3 mm (Fig. 1C, 1D). Microscopic photo reveals atypical histiocytic cells which contain eosinophilic cytoplasm and convoluted nuclei with groove (Fig. 1E). Immunohistochemical stain shows the histiocytic cells reactive to CD1a and anti-S100 protein (Fig. 1F, 1G). She was diagnosed as LCH based on the immunohistochemistry results and referred to oncology department for thorough evaluation to find other LCH lesions. Laboratory tests including complete blood count, blood chemistry, coagulation studies and thyroid function test, urine analysis, high resolution computed tomography and positron emission tomography were done. Since there was no other organ involvement found, treatment has been completed with the surgery and there has been no recurrence or other organ involvement in the 1-year follow-up period. In LCH patients, wide range of symptoms can appear depending on the organ involved, and it makes the diagnosis of LCH easily missed [2]. LCH is categorized as single-system or multisystem LCH depending on the number of organ involvement [3]. Symptoms can range from skin rash, simple mass, bony lesion with or without pain, diabetes to fatal problems, such as dyspnea or neurological problems [2].
