  • Title: Coalescing nodules on the trunk of an infant: juvenile xanthogranuloma 'en plaque'.
    Author: Hau JT, Langevin K.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2016 Oct 15; 22(10):. PubMed ID: 28329596.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a benign, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, which commonly manifests as a solitary papule or nodule in infants and young children. However, other less common clinical presentations have been reported including clustered, agminated or plaque-like. It is important to recognize these variants, as diagnosis is often clinical. We highlight a case of juvenile xanthogranuloma presenting as nodules on the trunk of an infant that gradually coalesced to form a larger plaque.
