Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare benign disease of the skin. It is seen in combination with juvenile chronic myelo-monocytic leukemia (JCML) and/or neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The association with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is hardly mentioned in the literature. A case report of this rare combination is described and a review of the literature is given.

This literature review aims to comprehensively evaluate the clinical and dermoscopic presentations of common pediatric diseases among children with skin of color (SoC) while also addressing potential variations based on racial backgrounds. This review encompasses various conditions, such as nevi subtypes, viral infections, infestations, and inflammatory dermatoses, as well as hair diseases and abnormal vascular formations, occurring in pediatric populations. Overall, we identified 7 studies on nevi subtypes, 24 studies on skin infections, 6 on inflammatory dermatoses, 10 on hair diseases and disorders, and 14 on miscellaneous disorders that also satisfied our SoC- and race-specific criteria.

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.
