Abstract
BACKGROUND: Juvenile xanthogranuloma is an infrequent, benign histiocytic l esion, the recognition and diagnosis of which by fine needle aspiration bio psy are important for ascertaining whether a case will have a benign course or spontaneous regression. CASE: A case of juvenile xanthogranuloma was located in the upper lip of a newborn male. CONCLUSION: Juvenile xanthogranuloma has characteristic cytologic features that may allow recognition in fine needle aspiration cytology smears.
