Abstract
Juvenile xanthogranuloma(JXG) is a chronic non granulomatous inflammatory reaction, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by skin lesions that tend to be self-limited. This is a regressing or stabilizing disorder usually occurring during infancy and childhood and it is characterized by one or more cutaneous nodules, and less often by additional lesions in deep soft tissue and organs. We report a case of 14 years old young boy with a large nodular form of JXG presented in thigh.
