Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a common histiocytic disorder of infancy and early childhood, most frequently presenting with cutaneous lesions. Whereas involvement of several visceral sites is well documented, only 4 cases of primary testicular JXG have been reported. Although this benign disorder typically presents with a favorable clinical outcome, the unusual presentation as an intratesticular lesion can lead to diagnostic challenges. In this study, we present the case of a 6-month-old male child with an incidentally discovered testicular mass that was diagnosed as a JXG and briefly review the existing literature in an attempt to bring awareness to this uncommon presentation.
幼年黄色肉芽肿(JXG)是一种常见的婴儿和幼儿组织细胞疾病,最常表现为皮肤损伤。虽然多个内脏部位的受累已有充分的记录,但仅有 4 例原发性睾丸 JXG 被报道。虽然这种良性疾病通常表现出良好的临床结果,但作为睾丸内病变的不常见表现可能会导致诊断上的挑战。在本研究中,我们介绍了 1 例 6 个月大的男性患儿,其偶然发现的睾丸肿块被诊断为 JXG,并简要回顾了现有的文献,旨在提高对这种不常见表现的认识。
