Abstract

Juvenile xanthogranuloma(JXG) is an uncommon benign histiocytic cutaneous lesion which is seen primarily in first two decades of life. There is not much literature available on its cytology. We present a case of solitary juvenile xanthogranuloma in a 43 years old female located above left nasal ala which was diagnosed on Fine needle aspiration cytology and subsequently confirmed on histology. Characteristic cytological features favored a diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma.

Keywords: Juvenile Xanthogranuloma, Cytology, Adult.
