Pediatric Solitary Epithelioid Histiocytoma of the Face

This is an unusual presentation of a rare but benign histiocytic proliferation on the face of a young child. When pediatric patients are referred to a plastic surgery clinic for excisional biopsy of facial lesions, it is important to be aware of the broad range of differential diagnoses, including histiocytic proliferations, to treat the patient appropriately.
