Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) on the leg of a 4 month old boy. JXG causes benign (non-cancerous) bumps on the skin of very young children. The bumps, which are most common on the head and neck, are due to a proliferation of histiocyte cells, a cell of the immune system. The cause is not known. Treatment is not necessary and the bumps will resolve spontaneously over a number of years. | |
