[Disseminated juvenile xanthogranuloma].

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis occurring predominantly in infants and children. Typical lesions are asymptomatic red-yellow papules and nodules on the scalp or in the axillae or groins. Multiple lesions are more common in children than in adults. A 2-year old girl presented with approximately 20 red-brown lesions, leading to the diagnosis of disseminated JXG. Internal involvement was excluded. Spontaneous regression occurred over 6 months of follow-up. A wait-and-see strategy is recommended for cutaneous JXG.
