A 4‐month‐old boy had numerous nodular lesions. Microscopic findings revealed a histtocytic proliferation without foam cells and giant cells. Immunohistochemical studies showed that the histiocytes belonged to the monocyte‐macrophage system and not to the Langerhans cell system. This case is an unusual variant of juvenile xanthogranutoma that, when congenital, may be difficult to differentiate from HashimotoPrtizker disease.
