Abstract

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a benign, self-healing, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis that generally occurs during infancy and childhood. Clinically, JXG usually presents as solitary or multiple yellow-red papules on the head and neck. Extracutaneous locations are rare, especially on the oral cavity in adults. A 20-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of a solitary dome-shaped papule on the mucosal surface of the lower lip. Histopathologically and immunohistochemically, the lesion was consistent with xanthogranuloma. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no previously reported cases of xanthogranuloma on the oral mucosa in Korean literature. Herein, we report the first case of xanthogranuloma arising on the oral mucosa of an adult.
