Summary:Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a benign histiocytosis that occurs in the pediatric population. Cutaneous JXG is the most common form, while extracutaneous lesions, including oral JXG, is extremely rare.

In this case, we report a solitary oral JXG at the gingiva in a 3-year old male. KCI Citation Count: 0
