A patient with overlap between juvenile xanthogranuloma and progressive nodular histiocytosis is presented. He had progressive, superficial, small, yellow‐reddish papules and large dermal nodules, consistent with progressive nodular histiocytosis. Histopathology showed distinctive features of juvenile xanthogranuloma. Our patient reinforces the view that progressive nodular histiocytosis is not a distinct clinical entity, but an evolutionary form of juvenile xanthogranuloma.
