Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a form of non Langerhans cell histiocytosis that mainly affects children. It usually emerges as asymptomatic yellow-brownish papules. The diagnosis is clinical and confirmed by histology. Due to its trend to involute, treatment is usually not recommended. Dermoscopy arises as a noninvasive diagnostic tool that reveals a typical pattern for this condition.
