  • Title: Systemic form of juvenile xanthogranuloma: report of a case with liver and bone marrow involvement.
    Author: Chantranuwat C.
    Journal: Pediatr Dev Pathol; 2004; 7(6):646-8. PubMed ID: 15630537.
    Abstract:
    Systemic form of juvenile xanthogranuloma with involvement of liver and bone marrow is reported in a 2-month-old female infant who presented with hepatosplenomegaly, severe anemia, and thrombocytopenia. There was no skin lesion, nor bone lesion. The enlarged liver has generalized yellowish spots. The diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma was made by pathologic findings of marrow and portal tract infiltration by S-100 negative, CD1a negative, CD68 positive, and Factor XIIIa positive large pale to foamy histiocytes with Touton giant cells, and lack of Langerhans cell granule by electron microscopic examination. The patient was treated with Vinblastine and Etoposide, and experienced slow and gradual disease regression in one year. To the best of knowledge, this is the first documented case of bone marrow involvement in systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma.
