Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) family lesions, and Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) are now classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) under the heading of histiocytic/dendritic cell neoplasms. Each disease may manifest as a focal lesion, as multiple lesions, or as a widespread aggressive systemic disease with visceral organ involvement. Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare systemic disease process of adults with limited cases in children.

The work describes a case of rare neonatal systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma with an initial damage of the scalp, limbs, back and abdomen, multiple damages of the parenchyma of both lungs, spleen and liver with the development of a severe form of congenital cholestatic hepatitis. The diagnosis was established on the basis of histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the skin nodules. The child on the background of therapy under the Langerhans cell histiocytosis III program achieved a partial response, which was manifested by a reduction of granulomatous formations on the skin, elimination of liver failure, but retained hepatosplenomegaly, specific lesions of the lung parenchyma, liver, and left kidney.

Background: Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis whose cell of origin, etiology and pathogenesis are not fully understood. We aimed to provide an update on histopathologic and immunophenotypic profile of this well-characterized entity whose relationship to the other histiocytoses has received renewed attention in light of recent molecular genetic studies.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of all the cases with the pathologic diagnosis of "xanthogranuloma" was performed on our archives from 1989 to 2019.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. JXG is a rare benign tumor, which may be present at birth or develop later. The classical form of JXG is characterized by a red-yellowish benign papule or nodule with predilection sites on the head, neck, and trunk, although lesions can appear on extremities or extracutaneous sites.
