Abstract

Juvenile xanthogranuloma is an unusual, self-limiting dermatological disorder occurring especially in infants, late childhood and rarely in adults. It belongs to the broad group of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It usually appears as solitary or multiple papules, macules or nodules several millimeters in diameter with the head and neck being the most common site of involvement and vulva being the rare site. We report two cases of juvenile xanthogranuloma in an 18 months old female and 18 months old male. The female presented with three yellow papules measuring 2-3 mm in diameter around vulva region since 4 months. Similarly, the male presented with multiple tan-orange color macules on head and forehead measuring 3-4mm in diameter since 6 months. In both the cases, a biopsy without total excision was performed. The clinical and histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma. In childhood, juvenile xanthogranuloma is necessary to differentiate from another probable differential diagnosis by biopsy.
