Neonatal juvenile xanthogranuloma. Report of a case with fine needle aspiration cytologic findings in a soft tissue mass.
BACKGROUND
Juvenile xanthogranuloma is an infrequent, benign histiocytic lesion, the recognition and diagnosis of which by fine needle aspiration biopsy are important for ascertaining whether a case will have a benign course or spontaneous regression.


METHODS
A case of juvenile xanthogranuloma was located in the upper lip of a newborn male.


CONCLUSIONS
Juvenile xanthogranuloma has characteristic cytologic features that may allow recognition in fine needle aspiration cytology smears.
