Disseminated juvenile xanthogranulomatosis in a newborn resulting in liver transplantation - 24/04/13
Abstract |
Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a histiocytic tumor that usually appears at birth or during the first year of life. Although most patients have solitary lesions, some have multiple cutaneous lesions, associated visceral lesions, or both.
