    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric dentistry

    Background:

    • Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare, benign, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
    • While typically affecting the skin, JXG can occur in various organs, including the oral cavity.
    • Histological documentation of JXG in the oral cavity is infrequent.

    Observation:

    • A case of juvenile xanthogranuloma affecting the gingiva is presented.
    • The oral lesion exhibited symptomatic presentation, which is rarely reported.
    • The clinical and histological features of the gingival JXG were documented.

    Findings:

    • This report provides rare histological documentation of juvenile xanthogranuloma in the oral cavity.
    • The gingival JXG case presented with symptoms, adding to the limited literature on symptomatic oral JXG.
    • Review of existing literature on oral JXG and discussion of potential etiologic factors.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of juvenile xanthogranuloma presentation in the oral cavity.
    • Highlights the importance of considering JXG in the differential diagnosis of symptomatic gingival lesions in children.
    • Contributes to the scarce histological data on oral JXG, aiding future diagnostic and research efforts.
