MeSH Heading: Xanthogranuloma, Juvenile
Tree Number(s): C15.604.250.410.900; C17.800.973
Unique ID: D014972
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014972
Annotation: non-neoplastic
Scope Note: Benign disorder of infants and children caused by proliferation of HISTIOCYTES, macrophages found in tissues. These histiocytes, usually lipid-laden non-Langerhans cells, form multiple yellow-red nodules most often in the skin, the eye, and sometimes in the viscera. Patients appear to have normal lipid metabolism and are classified as a normolipemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
Entry Term(s): Nevoxanthoendothelioma; Xanthoma, Juvenile
