title: [Maculo-papular juvenile xanthogranuloma. Considerations on a case].
abstract: A case of a 6-month-year old child with a yellow, macular and papular, asymptomatic, eruption involving the extremities, upper part of trunk and especially the head is reported. In the early stage histological and immunohistochemical studies were not contributory. Successively, the diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma was made on the basis of the histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings. Problems of differential diagnosis are discussed.
