  • Title: Solitary, extracutaneous, skull-based juvenile xanthogranuloma.
    Author: De Paula AM, André N, Fernandez C, Coulibaly B, Scavarda D, Lena G, Bouvier C.
    Journal: Pediatr Blood Cancer; 2010 Aug; 55(2):380-2. PubMed ID: 20582967.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of an 18-month-old female who presented an occipital bone lesion with progressive growth. Imaging studies showed a left extradural, skull-based tumor partially occupying the posterior fossa. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies confirmed a juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG). Partial surgical resection, chemotherapy, and conformational radiotherapy were used. Exclusive extracutaneous JXG with an intracranial, vertebral, or skull-based localization is extremely rare.
