Histiocytic neoplasms in the children are very rare, and histiocytoses can occur in the perinatal period. The presumed origins and presentation of specific histiocytoses in the pediatric age group are described. Common and newly described histiocytoses are presented including Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai-Dorfman disease, histiocytic sarcoma, ALK positive histiocytosis, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Molecular findings common to pediatric histiocytoses are also discussed.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis and is characterized by a benign proliferation of dermal dendrocytes. We report two children diagnosed with JXG with reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), a noninvasive imaging technology that allows for multi-layer visualization of the skin. This report demonstrates the emerging role of RCM as a painless diagnostic aid for JXG and other cutaneous diseases in children.

Objective: Authors characterized all published adult cases of cutaneous, intertriginous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) to bring this clinical presentation to the attention of clinicians. We emphasize the morphology, histopathology, immunohistochemical profiles, and genetic mutations associated with these cases.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the National Center for Biotechnology Information's PubMed was conducted, utilizing the following specific key words to identify all adult LCH patients with cutaneous intertriginous involvement: "Intertriginous Langerhans," "Vulvar Langerhans," "Genital Langerhans," "Perineal Langerhans," "Perianal Langerhans," "Intergluteal Langerhans," "Inguinal Langerhans," "Axillary Langerhans," and "Inframammary Langerhans.

Blueberry muffin baby syndrome is a condition initially described in 1960 to classify the cutaneous manifestations of newborns with rubella. Subsequently, congenital diseases related to TORCH syndrome and blood dyscrasias have been included under this syndrome. Among the conditions associated with this syndrome is Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, an uncommon condition with variable involvement of one or more organs, often affecting the skin.
