  • Title: Cardiac juvenile xanthogranuloma in an infant presenting with pericardial effusion.
    Author: Kobayashi D, Delius RE, Debelenko LV, Aggarwal S.
    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2013; 8(4):E106-10. PubMed ID: 22691125.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a rare histiocytic disorder of childhood mainly affecting skin and rarely deep soft tissues and viscera. We report a 2-month-old infant who presented with respiratory distress secondary to a large pericardial effusion associated with an epicardial mass. Excisional biopsy was performed and the mass was diagnosed as juvenile xanthogranuloma. The child is well without evidence of disease 8 months following the excision. The corresponding literature on juvenile xanthogranuloma with cardiac manifestations is reviewed.
