Abstract
in English, French

The present case report describes a juvenile xanthogranuloma in a five-month-old girl. A circumscribed papule was located below the right nasal ala and above the right vermilion border. The lesion was histologically diagnosed as a juvenile xanthogranuloma after surgical resection of the mass. Juvenile xanthogranuloma is an uncommon diagnosis, with the head, neck and trunk being the most common sites.

Suit un exposé de cas sur un xanthogranulome juvénile observé chez une petite fille de cinq mois. Une papule circonscrite est apparue sous l’aile nasale droite, au-dessus du bord libre de la lèvre, du côté droit. Un diagnostic histologique de xanthogranulome juvénile a été posé après la résection chirurgicale de la masse. Il s’agit d’une affection rare, qui touche le plus souvent la tête, le cou et le tronc.

Keywords: Juvenile xanthogranuloma; Superior lip.
