Abstract

RÉSUMÉ
Le xanthogranulome juvénile (XGJ) est une pathologie rare. Bien qu’il puisse survenir à tout âge, il se développe préférentiellement chez le jeune enfant de sexe masculin. Son siège est ubiquitaire avec prédilection pour la peau. C’est essentiellement une pathologie bénigne mais qui peut entacher le pronostic vital en fonction de sa localisation. Son diagnostic de certitude est histologique couplé ou non à une analyse immunohistochimique. L’aspect histologique est identique quelle que soit la localisation. L’immunohistochimie montre une positivité diffuse des cellules au CD68. Nous présentons ici le premier cas de XGJ décrit au Cameroun, pour en relever les particularités diagnostiques.
ABSTRACT
Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare pathology. Although it can occur at any age, it preferentially develops in young male children. JXG is ubiquitous but with predilection for the skin. It is essentially a benign pathology but can taint the vital prognosis depending on its location. Its diagnosis is made with histopathology coupled or not with immunohistochemical analysis. The histological aspect is identical regardless of the location. Immunohistochemistry shows diffuse cell positivity to CD68. We present here the first case of JXG described in Cameroon, to identify the diagnostic particuliarities.
