    Oral Pathology Section. Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG), México.
    Juvenile Xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (non-LCH) affecting normolipemic infants and children most frequently in the first year of life, often showing spontaneous regression within 3 to 6 years. Classic JXG is characterized by a yellowish asymptomatic papule or nodule, often located in the skin of the head, neck and upper trunk. Oral JXG have been reported, but is rare. Read More

    This article focuses on cutaneous hematopoietic neoplasms that are more likely to be encountered in the pediatric age-group and includes both lymphoproliferative and histiocytic disorders. The cutaneous hematologic disorders in children have a different epidemiologic profile to what is seen during adulthood. Although mycosis fungoides is the most frequent form of cutaneous lymphoma in adults, it is very rare in children. Read More

    Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JX) is a benign growth of fibrohistiocytoma range that mainly affects children. The most frequent localization of the tumor is skin integument. Non-cutaneous forms of JX are found in 5-10% of cases; they are manifested as deep lesions of soft tissues, involvement of various organs (oropharynx, lungs, liver, spleen, pericardium, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, bone marrow) including the organ of vision.

    Histiocytoses are rare disorders characterized by the accumulation of cells derived from macrophages, dendritic cells or monocytes in various tissues. There is a broad spectrum of disease manifestations with some subtypes commonly showing skin lesions, while in others, the skin is rarely involved. Here, we describe cutaneous manifestations of histiocytoses belonging to the Langerhans group (L group), the group of cutaneous and mucocutaneous histiocytoses (C group) and the group of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) and related histiocytoses (R group) according to the current classification.

    Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare disease that belongs to the non-Langerhans cell histiocytoses. It presents a wide clinical spectrum, usually occurs before 5 years of age, and is commonly confined to the skin; however, it can affect multiple sites, including the nervous system, and can lead to severe disorders. Although JXG is a benign disease that usually regresses spontaneously, several curative treatments have been proposed in cases of organ involvement. Read More

    Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a rare histiocytic proliferation primarily affecting infants and young children, characterized by aberrant infiltration of histiocyte-derived cells in the skin, soft tissues and more rarely, visceral organs. Juvenile xanthogranuloma is generally considered to be a benign disorder; most lesions are solitary cutaneous nodules that resolve spontaneously without treatment. However, cases with extracutaneous involvement, multiple lesions, and/or systemic disease often require aggressive therapy. Read More

    Erdheim-Chester Disease: Comprehensive Review of Molecular Profiling and Therapeutic Advances.
    Anticancer Res 2017 06;37(6):2777-2783
    Division of Hematology and Oncology, Department of Medicine, George Washington University Medical Center, Washington, DC, U.S.A.
    The revised 2016 World Health Organization classification introduced Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) as a provisional entity within the histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms separate from the juvenile xanthogranuloma family based on distinct molecular features. However, evolving knowledge regarding the molecular and genetic aberrations in addition to common clinical features of ECD support the classification of ECD together with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Accordingly, ECD can be thought of as an inflammatory myeloid clonal disorder based on the detection of various activating mutations along the mitogen activated protein kinase-extracellular signal regulated kinase (MAPK-ERK) pathway with most notable variant being a valine to a glutamic acid substitution at amino acid 600 in the B-rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma protein (BRAFV600E).

    Case Report: The case concerns a 22 day-old male child with juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), which manifested as a unilateral glaucoma and with fibrinous haemorrhagic exudate in the anterior chamber affecting the angle of the right eye. Despite a high level of suspicion, the definitive diagnosis was not possible until the infant reached the age of 10 months, after the appearance of the skin lesions typical of this condition and histopathological study of them.

    Conclusion: JXG is a rare disease, characterised by yellowish skin lesions on the trunk, neck, or head. Read More

    Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare histiocytic disorder that is usually benign and self-limiting. We present a case of atypical, aggressive JXG harboring a novel mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway mutation in the MAPK1 gene, which encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 or extracellular signal-regulated 2 (ERK2). Our analysis revealed that the mutation results in constitutive ERK activation that is resistant to BRAF or MEK inhibitors but susceptible to an ERK inhibitor. Read More
