Abstract

We present an unusual instance of juvenile xanthogranuloma occurring in the hand. A 23-month-old girl had a mass on the radial aspect of the right third finger at the distal interphalangeal joint that extended to the collateral ligament. The lesion was histologically diagnosed as a juvenile xanthogranuloma after resection of the mass. Juvenile xanthogranuloma is uncommon in the hand, and only three patients with this condition occurring in the digits have been reported in the English language literature. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment are discussed.
