Abstract:
The typical juvenile xanthogranuloma contains histiocytes with a variety of cellular features. Five types of juvenile xanthogranuloma have been described: vacuolated, xanthomatized, scalloped, oncocytic, and spindle-shaped. Spindle cell xanthogranuloma is a rare variant of juvenile xanthogranuloma characterized by predominance of spindle-shaped histiocytes. It occurs mainly in adults and less commonly in children. We report a case of spindle cell xanthogranuloma in a 4 month-old infant.
