A 71-year-old man with a history of various medical conditions presented to the emergency room with vision problems and elevated intraocular pressure. He was found to have a mass in his right orbit, restricted eye movements, and enlarged extraocular muscles. Further assessment and treatment, potentially including immunomodulatory or cytotoxic medication, were recommended. The suspected diagnoses are Erdheim-Chester disease or necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. This document discusses two studies related to dermatology, one from 1991 examining the response to dexamethasone and another from 2006 focusing on necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with paraproteinaemia. These studies provide valuable insights for researchers and individuals studying dermatology. [Extracted from the article]
