Abstract
Background: Histiocytoses patients present with highly heterogeneous clinical and histopathological pictures requiring multidisciplinary management. Mixed histiocytosis is a recently described group of syndromes defined by the histological overlap of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and other histiocytic proliferations that include three clinically and prognostically different conditions (i.e., Type-1-3 mixed histiocytosis).
Case report: We describe a 10 year-old boy with unifocal (type-3) mixed histiocytosis - Langerhans cell histiocytosis combined with a lesion with features intermediate between Rosai-Dorfman disease and reticulohistiocytosis. Sixty months after excision, the child is disease free.
Discussion: Cutaneous type-3 mixed histiocytosis (Langerhans cell histiocytosis with Rosai-Dorfman disease/reticulohistiocytosis) may occur in older childhood, be unifocal, and be cured by surgical excision.
期刊介绍:
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology is an established bimonthly international journal that publishes data on diseases of the developing embryo, newborns, children, and adolescents. The journal publishes original and review articles and reportable case reports.
The expanded scope of the journal encompasses molecular basis of genetic disorders; molecular basis of diseases that lead to implantation failures; molecular basis of abnormal placentation; placentology and molecular basis of habitual abortion; intrauterine development and molecular basis of embryonic death; pathogenisis and etiologic factors involved in sudden infant death syndrome; the underlying molecular basis, and pathogenesis of diseases that lead to morbidity and mortality in newborns; prenatal, perinatal, and pediatric diseases and molecular basis of diseases of childhood including solid tumors and tumors of the hematopoietic system; and experimental and molecular pathology.
