ISSN 0001-5555 Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a non-Langerhans histiocytosis occurring predominantly in infancy and early childhood. Resolution usually occurs over a period of months to several years, and it is rare for the condition to persist beyond late childhood (1). The symmetrical giant facial plaque variant of JXG (SGFP-JXG) is very rare. It was originally reported by Gunson & Birchall. (2). Herein we report a case of SGFP-JXG that persisted beyond 10 years of age.
