Juvenile xanthogranuloma is usually a benign condition mainly seen in infants and children. It frequently presents as asymptomatic discrete papules on the head, trunk, and limbs. Extracutaneous manifestations, most commonly ocular, are rare but may be associated with significant morbidity. The etiology of juvenile xanthogranuloma is uncertain, although the occurrence in monozygotic twins may suggest genetic predisposition.
幼年黄色肉芽肿通常是一种主要见于婴儿和儿童的良性病症。它常表现为头、躯干和四肢上无症状的孤立丘疹。皮肤外表现，最常见于眼部，虽罕见但可能伴有严重的发病率。幼年黄色肉芽肿的病因尚不确定，尽管单卵双胞胎发病可能提示有遗传易感性。
