Abstract

Abstract: Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis that usually occurs in the skin of children, single or multiple. The systemic form of JXG affected extracutaneous sites-mostly the eyes, central nervous system, liver, kidney, etc. Oral JXG is rare. This paper reported a case with yellowish papule affecting the hard palate, without typical clinical symptoms. The lesion was surgically excised, histological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed JXG.

Key words: Juvenile xanthogranuloma, Oral cavity, S100
