Abstract
Symptomatic xanthogranulomas are rare lesions that most commonly occur in adults. A case of giant bilateral xanthogranulomas in a 6-year-old boy, who remains without tumor recurrence 9 years after resection, is presented. The operative management of these unusually large lesions is discussed. The pathogenesis of xanthogranulomas is reviewed as it relates to the presentation of these lesions in the pediatric population.
