  • Title: An infant who has dome-shaped papules.
    Author: Rana A, de Waal Malefyt S.
    Journal: Pediatr Rev; 2012 Feb; 33(2):86-8. PubMed ID: 22301035.
    Abstract:
    JXG is a benign disorder of early childhood and primarily occurs in infants and children <2 years of age. It is characterized by solitary or multiple yellow-red nodules on the skin and, rarely, in other organs. The clinical diagnosis of solitary cutaneous JXG usually requires confirmation by biopsy. Referral to a dermatologist should be obtained to exclude other disorders if multiple lesions are present. Clinicians should rule out ocular lesions with referral to an ophthalmologist if the patient is <2 years of age and has multiple lesions of JXG. If ophthalmologic consultation reveals no ocular lesions, screening every 6 months for the first 2 years of life is advised.
