- Abstract
This article, published in the International Journal of Dermatology, discusses a case of juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) in a 3-year-old boy. The boy presented with a lesion on the sole of his left foot that was initially misdiagnosed as a plantar wart. A biopsy revealed the presence of JXG, a relatively common benign histiocytic proliferation in the skin. The article emphasizes the importance of considering JXG as a differential diagnosis for solitary palmoplantar nodules and highlights the need for clinical monitoring and potential surgical excision in certain cases.
