ABSTRACT

Xanthogranulomas are benign histiocytic proliferations of unknown origin. It is a frequent histiocytic proliferative disorder in children, two-thirds of all cases beginning the first six-nine months of life. Late onset lesions (adolescence or adult life) occur in approximately 10-30% of cases and lesions tend to be persistent in individuals who develop them after the age of 20 years. We present the case of an adult xanthogranuloma mimicking a keratoacanthoma with a review of the literature.
