ABSTRACT
Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a benign disseminated xanthomatous and granulomatous condition of the skin and other organs. The skin lesions usually disappear spontaneously within 1 to 5 years. Our case was 4 month-old boy who had have match head to pea sized scattered yellowish papules and nodules on scrotum since age of 1 month and then these skin lesions gradually spread to trunk, face and scalp without subjective symptoms. Histopathologically, biopsy specimen of the trunk revealed massive accumulation of histiocytes at dermis. With fat stain, fat substance is demonstrated within the foamy histiocytes. The skull x-ray revealed coin sized, well circumscribed osteolytic lesion on the left parietal bone. By the age of two and half, most of the skin lesions and bone defect on skull x-ray disappeared spontaneously.
