Abstract:
Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is an uncommon benign skin disorder of infants and young children characterized by dermal proliferation and infiltration of dendrocytes. We present a unique case of giant congenital JXG with a mixed presentation of macules, papules, nodules, and ulcerations in a neonatal male who was observed until the age of 23 months, by which time all lesions had spontaneously self-involuted. Prior to complete resolution, some lesions took the form of pedunculated protrusions. To our knowledge, this is the first of this atypical case to be presented in the literature.
