A second case of a retroperitoneal xanthogranuloma in a child is presented. The tumor is very rare, and its retroperitoneal location is characteristic. The importance of this tumor is its possible relation to the other known histiocytoses, such as eosinophilic granuloma, Hand-Schüller-Christian disease, and Letterer-Siwe disease. Long-term follow-up is needed before a patient can be considered cured by surgery and x-ray therapy.
