Juvenile Xanthogranuloma

Juvenile xanthogranulomas (JXG) is a non-langerhans cell histiocytosis seen most often in infants and young children.  JXG tends to occur on the upper body and head and neck region as red-brown, dome-shaped papules that become more yellow in colour with time. When occurring as a solitary lesion these are regarded as benign and no further work-up or treatment is necessary.
