Description

We report the case of 6-year-old girl with multiple juvenile xanthogranulomas. Yellowish papulonodular lesions were distributed on her face, trunk and extremities. However, no extracutaneus lesions or hyperlipidemia was observed. A skin biopsy showed the infiltration of histiocytes and lymphocytes in the upper dermis. Seven years after onset, the lesions spontaneously involuted. In general, juvenile xanthogranulomas develop within the first year of life and thereafter the lesions spontaneously involute within 6 months to 3 years. Our case was considered to be interesting in that she was considerably older than typical cases of juvenile xanthogranuloma and the clinical course was also longer than usual.
