    Abstract:
    Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a form of histiocytic proliferative disorder that usually affects the skin and tends to occur during infancy. On rare occasions, it has been reported at extracutaneous sites and in other age groups. Isolated juvenile xanthogranuloma of the nervous system is extremely rare, especially in the cauda equina. A case of juvenile xanthogranuloma of the cauda equina in a 14-year-old boy is reported, and the literature is reviewed.
