Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a common form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, most often effecting infants, young children and occasionally adults. JXG is characterized by solitary or multiple yellowish cutaneous nodules, the two common clinical variants being a small nodular form and large nodular form, which frequently coexist. Lesions are often localized to the head and neck and occur less often on the trunk and the extensor surface of the extremities. Systemic involvement may occur. Many of them may go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as other common skin tumors. The diagnosis is made base on histopathological findings. We report 3 children who are presented with multiple separating solitary lesions and rewiev of the literature.Keywords: Xanthogranuloma, juvenile; histiocytosisTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2008, 28:576-579
