The histiocytoses are a group of proliferative disorders of themonocyte-macrophage lineage that are neoplastic or reactive innature. Based on immunophenotyping and electron microscopy,two main groups have been recognized namely 1) Langerhanscell histiocytosis (LCH) and 2) non- Langerhans cell histiocytosis(non-LCH). In this study, a fairly rare disease of the non-LCHgroup, generalized eruptive ...

Indeterminate cell histiocytosis is a very rare proliferative disorderof histiocytes which displays both langerhans cell histiocytosisand non langerhans cell histiocytosis immunophenotypic features.The majority of the patients develop multiple lesions which areclinically indistinguishable from generalized eruptive histiocytosis.We report a 14-year-old girl with multiple papules on the face,scal...

Generalized eruptive histiocytosis is a benign proliferative disorder of non-Langerhans cells. It is a very rare disease. The disease presents with soft to firm fleshy papules on face, neck and upper trunk. Biopsy is often needed to make the diagnosis because of its rarity and diverse presentation. There is tendency for the disease to regress spontaneously without treatment. Treatment, if any n...

Histiocytoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases, characterized by the accumulation of reactive or neoplastic histiocytes in various tissues. Generalized eruptive histiocytosis belongs to cutaneous non-Langerhans' cell histiocytoses and is a rare, generalized, self-healing disorder that usually follows a benign clinical course. Herein, we report a case of generalized eruptive histiocytosis i...

Generalized eruptive histiocytoma is considered an extremely rare subtype of non-Langerhans cells histiocytosis. In the literature, there are few reports of this disease that mainly affects adults. In this report, we present a case of generalized eruptive histiocytoma in an elderly patient who had presented symptoms for over two months. Multiple erythematous papules, asymptomatic and symmetrica...
