Abstract
Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare benign disease of the skin. It is seen in combination with juvenile chronic myelo‐monocytic leukemia (JCML) and/or neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The association with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is hardly mentioned in the literature. A case report of this rare combination is described and a review of the literature is given. © 1994Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
