Abstract

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of optimal care, which occasionally requires a multidisciplinary approach. Rare diseases may pose some diagnostic challenges, especially in the context of their similarity to other more common pathologies. We report a case of Juvenile Xanthogranuloma (JXG), a rare disease that had some initial diagnostic challenges due to its similarity with molluscum contagiosum.
