Abstract
Juvenile xanthogranuloma, or nevoxantho-endothelioma, is primarily a benign, self-limiting skin disease appearing in the neonatal period. However, visceral involvement may occur with significant complications. Two cases of ocular involvement and a case with cardiac involvement have been described. Favorable results were obtained by treatment with low doses of external irradiation.Keywords
