Abstract
- Juvenile xanthogranuloma is characterized histologically by a dense, sheetlike, well-demarcated, histiocytic infiltration within the papillary and reticular dermis, with occasional extension into subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and peripheral muscle. We report a case of juvenile xanthogranuloma developed in a 5-month-old male infant which showed typical histopathologic features of juvenile xanthogranuloma, involving the papillary dermis only without deep dermal or subcutaneous change.
