Summary:Introduction: Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), a non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, is benign and self-healing disorder, that affects most often infants and children, characterized by asymptomatic yellowish papules and/or nodules located in the skin and other organs consisting of an infiltrate of macrophages with a variable degree of lipidization in the absence of a metabolic disorder. We report the case of a male teenager of 14 years old, with multiple giant tumoral lesions in the arms and feet, limited to the skin and who did not require any treatment.
