Juvenile xanthogranuloma manifesting with LCH-associated
neurodegenerative disease-like radiological findings
Abstract
Here, we describe two patients with juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG)
manifesting with Langerhans cell histiocytosis-associated
neurodegenerative disease (ND)-like radiological findings. One patient
showed typical radiological abnormalities at onset, which worsened with
progressing central nervous system symptoms 7 years after LCH-oriented
chemotherapy. Another showed spontaneous regression of clinical
symptoms, with a transient radiological change 1 year after salvage
chemotherapy for recurrence of JXG. These data regarding JXG-associated
ND will facilitate future investigation of the disease, as well as
development of therapeutic interventions.
