Adult orbital xanthogranuloma is rare and usually associated with systemic disease. There are several options available to treat this disorder. Periorbital lesions are treated with steroids, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or local excision; however, there is still no consensus regarding optimal treatment. Here, we report a rare case of orbital xanthogranuloma that was not associated with systemic disease and was treated by transcranial surgery. The patient was a 52-year-old man who presented with a 2-year history of unilateral eye symptoms. A computed tomography scan revealed a well-defined mass in the right orbit. The mass was completely removed via a transcranial orbital approach. The histopathologic diagnosis was xanthogranuloma. No recurrence was observed during 15 months of postoperative follow-up. Complete surgical resection might be an effective treatment option for locally growing sporadic adult xanthogranulomatous disease of the orbit, and allows systemic steroids, chemotherapy, and irradiation to be avoided.
