“…Nolte et al [14] reported a large intracardiac JXG in a 50-yearold woman who had previously undergone mitral valve surgery. In addition, several cases have been reported of JXG involving the multiple sites of the iris, intracranial region, and neck occurring in adults in their 20s and 30s, showing that JXG may be prevalent in adulthood [3,15].…”

“…Therefore, persistence of the disease into late childhood has been rarely reported [2]. Non-cutaneous JXG occurs in 5% of children and usually presents in the eye, lung, heart, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, adrenal gland, pituitary gland, bone, bone marrow, or kidney, but the uveal tract of the eye is the most common site [3].…”

Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a benign tumor made up of non-Langerhans histiocytes that predominantly occurs in infancy and early childhood. Juvenile xanthogranuloma can be differentiated from xanthoma by the distribution of the lesions and the absence of lipid abnormalities. It usually develops on the trunk and upper and lower extremities. Histologically, xanthogranulomas show a mixed cellular dermal infiltration with histiocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils and Touton-type multinucleated giant cells. Classically, juvenile xanthogranuloma is a disease that largely affects infants and children. We describe a rare case of juvenile xanthogranuloma that suddenly developed in the axillary region of a male adult.

“…Las lesiones típicamente se evidencian circunscritas con edema perilesional, refuerza tras la inyección de gadolinio endovenoso y restringen a la técnica de difusión 6 . El tratamiento es la exéresis quirúrgica cuando son tumoraciones únicas y de localización superficial, 9 en cambio cuando hay múltiples lesiones o un único foco profundo el diagnóstico y tratamiento de esta patología es complejo. 5 En estos casos la toma de biopsia por estereotaxia es de elección.…”
