Juvenile xanthogranuloma: Three cases

Abstract

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JX) is a regressing fibrous histiocytoma occurring during infancy and characterized by cutaneous papules and nodules and less often by additional lesions in deep tissue and organs. It has a special place among childhood masses by presenting differ ent outcomes and spontaneous regression. We report three cases of JX that were detected after birth and resected.
