Solitary juvenile xanthogranuloma in the parotid gland

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JX) is a non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Although precipitating factors remain unclear, it has been described mainly in infancy and early childhood. The giant variant of JX is a rare form that presents in infancy, measures over 2 cm and tends to involute only partly. Her...

description Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JX) is a non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Although precipitating factors remain unclear, it has been described mainly in infancy and early childhood. The giant variant of JX is a rare form that presents in infancy, measures over 2 cm and tends to involute only partly. Herein, we report a very rare localization of a giant JX in the parotid gland, discovered at age 1 month in an infant of a twin pregnancy and studied with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.
