Abstract
Background: Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a rare condition, and femoral involvement is even rarer. We report a case of juvenile xanthogranuloma affecting the femur. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of femoral juvenile xanthogranuloma in China.
Case presentation: A 19-year-old boy began experiencing swelling in various parts of his body at the age of 1 year, followed by pain in his left hip. Preoperative pathology and imaging indicated juvenile xanthogranuloma of the left femur, leading to surgical intervention. Postoperatively, the patient experienced significant relief from left hip discomfort.
Conclusion: Surgery can be an effective treatment for juvenile xanthogranuloma involving the femur.
