Abstract:
Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a disorder of disputed origin thought to be related to the dermal/interstitial macrophage. A 5‐year‐old female presented with an aggressive systemic JXG that developed 5 months after the diagnosis of T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T‐ALL). Examination of the T‐cell receptor gamma (TCR‐γ) rearrangement in T‐ALL blasts, JXG infiltrated lymph node biopsies and micro‐dissected JXG histiocytes revealed an identical bi‐allelic TCR‐γ rearrangement in all samples, thus providing evidence for a clonal relationship between T‐ALL and JXG in this case.
