ABSTRACT
Juvenile xanthogranuloma(JXG) is a disorder of histiocytes usually associated with cutaneous lesions. JXG developing in soft tissue is rare and receives little attention. Therefore deeply located JXG may present a diagnostic difficulty in the absence of cutaneous lesions. Clinically, deep JXG seems to occur as solitary lesions on the trunk rather than on the head and neck region and tends to be composed of a monotonous population of histiocytic cells, with rare, if any, foamy macrophages or Touton-type multinucleated giant cells. We report an unusual case of JXG in a 4-month-old male infant who had a deep-seated mass located on the subcutaneous and muscle layer of the left forearm.
