Juvenile xanthogranuloma
Diagnosis in short

Juvenile xanthogranuloma. H&E stain.

LM dermal histiocytes with abundant cytoplasm, +/-Touton giant cells (large multi-nucleated cells where nuclei are distributed at the cell periphery)
LM DDx Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Spitz nevus (reported to have Touton cells), Dermatofibroma - aneurysmal type
IHC CD68 +ve, CD1a -ve, CD207 -ve
Site skin

Clinical history usually in children and infants, sometimes in adults
Prognosis benign

Juvenile xanthogranuloma, abbreviated JXG, is a relatively common distinctive diagnosis in dermatopathology. It is also known as nevoxanthoendothelioma. In adults, it is called adult xanthogranuloma.[1]

General

  • Usually in children and infants, sometimes in adults.[1]
    • In adults, it may be referred to as cutaneous xanthogranuloma,[2] adult onset xanthogranuloma, and adult xanthogranuloma.[3]
  • Most common form of non–Langerhans cell histiocytosis.[4]
  • Can rarely be found in the brain.[5]

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Dermal histiocytes:
    • Abundant cytoplasm - may not be xanthomatous/foam cells.
  • +/-Touton giant cell - key feature.
    • Large multi-nucleated cells where nuclei are distributed at the cell periphery.

Notes:

  • Must prove they are non-Langerhans cell histiocytes, esp. if no Touton giant cells.

IHC

Features:[4]

  • Langerhans cell markers: CD1a, CD207 -- both should be negative.
    • If Touton giant cells are absent -- this is essential.
  • Histiocyte markers: CD68, CD163 -- both should be positive.
  • Vimentin +ve.

Other markers:[8]

  • CD4 +ve (21 of 27 cases).
  • CD45 +ve (25 of 27 cases).
  • Factor XIIIa +ve (25 of 27 cases).

Negatives:[9]

  • Muscle markers: actin, desmin.
  • Others: S100, factor VIII, cytokeratins.
