Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a form of histiocytosis, classified as non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. [1] [2] It is a rare skin disorder that primarily affects children under one year of age but can also be found in older children and adults. [3] It was first described in 1905 by Adamson. [4]
Touton giant cells are also referred to as xanthelasmatic cells due to the fact they are found in lesions associated with xanthomas which are skin growths with yellow, lipid filled deposits. Touton giant cells are often frequently observed in granulomatous inflammation, which is a type of inflammation caused by the clustering of immune cells ...
The Histiocyte Society, a nonprofit organization, is a group of more than 200 physicians and scientists from around the world committed to improving the lives of patients with histiocytic disorders by conducting clinical and laboratory research into the causes and treatment of this disease. The Society has instituted several clinical trials and ...
Non-X histiocytoses are a clinically well-defined group of cutaneous syndromes characterized by infiltrates of monocytes/macrophages, as opposed to X-type histiocytoses in which the infiltrates contain Langerhans cells.

Xanthelasma in the form of XP can be diagnosed from clinical impression, although in some cases it may need to be distinguished (differential diagnosis) from other conditions, especially necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, syringoma, palpebral sarcoidosis, sebaceous hyperplasia, Erdheim–Chester disease, lipoid proteinosis (Urbach–Wiethe disease), and the syndrome of adult-onset asthma and ...
The cause is a genetic mutation in the MAPKinase pathway that occurs during early development. [1] The origin is a dendritic cell, although previously thought to be a histiocyte, a term still used. The mutations causes white blood cells (lymphocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils) to move towards dendritic cells, resulting in damage in any organ ...
