  • Title: Intracranial solitary juvenile xanthogranuloma in an infant.
    Author: Sun LP, Jin HM, Yang B, Wu XR.
    Journal: World J Pediatr; 2009 Feb; 5(1):71-3. PubMed ID: 19172339.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a disorder of histiocyte proliferation. Most cases present with a solitary cutaneous lesion. JXG with systemic involvement is rare with significant morbidity. Intracranial solitary JXG may be misdiagnosed before operation. METHODS: A 5-month-old boy showed an elevated anterior fontanel but no other abnormalities on admission. Brain MRI showed a large mass in the right parietal region. RESULTS: The tumor was removed with the encroached meninges. A JXG in the right parietal region was diagnosed pathologically. CONCLUSION: Total excision of the tumor may be curative with a prerequisite of ensuring normal vital signs and nervous function.
