Juvenile xanthogranuloma, the most common form of non–Langerhans cell histiocytosis, is a benign, self-limiting histiocytic disorder that most commonly occurs during infancy or early adolescence. Facial involvement is common, and, in some cases, multiple lesions may occur. This article presents a case of multiple facial juvenile xanthogranuloma lesions in an 8-month-old male infant. Discussion includes patient evaluation and a review of potential ocular and systemic associations.
