We present a case of congenital juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) with both cutaneous and renal involvement. Skin lesions consisted of bluish papules and nodules (blueberry muffin baby) located on the head, trunk and proximal extremities. Subsequent investigations revealed a renal mass. Histopathology of both cutaneous and renal specimens was consistent with JXG. Both clinical presentation and extracutaneous localization were remarkable.

Article Synopsis
- Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare benign condition primarily affecting neonates and young children, often presenting as skin lesions, but intramuscular JXG is much less common, accounting for only 0.6% of cases.
- A case involving a 5-month-old girl showed a slow-growing lump in her left thigh, which was diagnosed as deep JXG after imaging, biopsy, and surgical resection.
- Histological findings revealed characteristics typical of JXG, and despite initial concerns about tumor margins, the patient has shown no signs of recurrence over 48 months post-surgery, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis and monitoring.

A 15-year-old boy presented with a yellowish, asymptomatic nodule on the left forearm, which developed in the last year. A diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma was confirmed with histopathology. Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT), a new skin imaging technique, was performed prior to surgery, showing a strong correspondence with histopathological sections.

Article Synopsis
- Diseases classified under non-LCH often have similar clinical and histological characteristics, making diagnosis difficult.
- A two-year-old girl exhibited various asymptomatic skin lesions, leading to a provisional diagnosis of generalized eruptive histiocytosis (GEH), which was later found to have overlapping features with juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG).
- The case highlights the importance of careful differentiation between GEH and JXG since they may require different treatment approaches, demonstrating that clinical observation alone can be misleading due to their similarities.
