Clinicopathological correlation in diagnosis of generalized eruptive histiocytosis

Abstract

Sir, Histiocytoses are a rare group of disorders resulting from reactive or malignant proliferation of mononuclear phagocyte and immunoregulatory effector system. Generalized eruptive histiocytosis (GEH) is a rare variant of histiocytosis first described by Winkelmann and Muller.[1] There are only approximately 43 case reports of GEH till date.[2] We are reporting a 41-year-old male who was suspected as Hansen’s disease, but clinicopathological correlation confirmed GEH.
