title: [Histiocytosis X (eosinophilic granuloma) of the caruncle].
abstract: The lacrimal caruncle of an 11-year-old female patient developed a 2 mm x 3 mm-sized growth with the primary appearance of an abscess. The process did not regress under local antibiotic therapy and was excised. Histological examination revealed histiocytosis X (eosinophilic granuloma).
