Abstract

A seven-year-old boy had a cutaneous mass on the anterior aspect of his right thigh, with dermoscopy revealing lobules which might be enlarged dermal papillae. We performed a dermoscope-guided excisional biopsy for high precision, with histopathology and immunohistochemistry revealing a CD68+ and S100- juvenile xanthogranuloma. To our best knowledge, this is the first reported dermoscope-guided surgery on a child.
