Description
Summary:Reticulohistiocytosis belongs to the group of non-Langerhans cell histiocytic disorders, which are characterized by the accumulation of histiocytes that do not represent the phenotype of Langerhans cells.Reticulohistiocytosis is characterized by dermal histiocytic infiltration of large, eosinophilic histiocytes with a "glassy" cytoplasm,and represents a spectrum of rare clinical entities: the solitary cutaneous form; the diffuse-cutaneous type without systemic involvement; and multicentric reticulohistiocytosis. [1],[2] Here we describe the case of multiple cutaneous lesions of reticulohistiocytoma with a distinct clinical presentation.
