Familial histiocytic reticulosis (familial haemophagocytic reticulosis).

The clinical and pathological findings are recorded in two siblings who died in early infancy from familial histiocytic (;haemophagocytic') reticulosis. The nature of this condition is obscure but probably represents a primary histiocytosis. The only other family on record is that described by Farquhar and Claireaux (1952) and by Farquhar, Macgregor, and Richmond (1958).

Expression of adhesion molecules in pagetoid reticulosis

Cell adhesion molecules play a critical role in lymphocyte migration and homing. They convey tissue-specific homing properties to lymphocyte subsets and regulate the positioning of these subsets in the body. In a patient with pagetoid reticulosis, a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma characterized by extreme epitheliotropism, we examined the expression of adhesion molecules. The neoplastic ...

Pautrier-Woringer disease: lipomelanotic reticulosis/ dermatopathic lymphadenitis

We report a 62 year-old woman with a 20-year’s history of extensive psoriasis, and thyroidectomy, presented with a 3-month history of multiple hypertrophied axillary lymph nodes. At first the diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer was suggested. Physical examination revealed a 2cm, firm and slightly mobile axillary lymph node. A cutaneous diffuse psoriasis was observed on the chest and upper lim...

Splenectomy for histiocytic medullary reticulosis.

ScoTT & Robb-Smith (1939) introduced the term histiocytic medullary reticulosis (HMR) in 1939 to describe a disorder of the reticulo-endothelial system characterized by fever, wasting and generalized lymphadenopathy, associated with splenic and hepatic enlargement and in the final stages jaundice, purpura and anaemia. Necropsy in their patients revealed an intense erythrophagocytosis by histioc...
