title: Juvenile xanthogranuloma of the paravertebral soft tissue in infancy: a report of two cases.
abstract: We report 2 cases of paravertebral soft tissue lesions with the histologic features of juvenile xanthogranuloma, both of which occurred in infants. Juvenile xanthogranuloma situated in the soft tissue is rare. We describe 2 cases with similar clinical and pathologic features; there has been no recurrence at 1 and 2 years after excision, respectively.
