We report a case of an 18‐month‐old female who presented an occipital bone lesion with progressive growth. Imaging studies showed a left extradural, skull‐based tumor partially occupying the posterior fossa. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies confirmed a juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG). Partial surgical resection, chemotherapy, and conformational radiotherapy were used. Exclusive extracutaneous JXG with an intracranial, vertebral, or skull‐based localization is extremely rare.
