We describe an infant with a congenital form of non‐Langerhans cell histiocytosis with clinical and pathologic features of both disseminated juvenile xanthogranulomatosis and benign cephalic histiocytosis. The findings in this case support the concept of these non‐Langerhans cell histiocytoses forming part of a spectrum of disease rather than being separate pathologic entities.
