Abstract
Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis is a rare disorder of unknown aetiology which affects skin and joints predominantly. There are no specific laboratory investigations for diagnosis. Diagnosis can be made clinically and on a histopathological basis. There is no consensus on treatment. We report a case from Pakistan with classical presentation who did well on methotrexate and low dose steroids. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment may save from significant disability.
