Juvenile xanthogranuloma of the oral cavity: a case report.
A 3 1/2-year-old girl presented with a symptomless lump on her tongue which had been present for 8 months. A provisional diagnosis of fibroepithelial polyp was made and no treatment was carried out. Six months later the lump had increased in size and it was excised. Histological examination led to a diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma. One year later the lesion had not recurred.
