“…Histologically, GEH may be similar to BCH 6 . Dermoscopy helps to easily differentiate BCH from plane warts, which present small red dots regularly distributed on a light brown to yellow background 7 . The histological appearance and immunochemistry are very useful for making diagnostic differentiation between cutaneous mastocytosis and lichenoid sarcoidosis.…”

“…6 Dermoscopy helps to easily differentiate BCH from plane warts, which present small red dots regularly distributed on a light brown to yellow background. 7 The histological appearance and immunochemistry are very useful for making diagnostic differentiation between cutaneous mastocytosis and lichenoid sarcoidosis. The first presents a mast cell infiltrate in the upper dermis, CD117+, while the histological appearance of lichenoid sarcoidosis is non-caseating epithelioid granulomatous inflammation in the upper dermis.…”

“…Up to 10% of patients with JXG may present with internal organ involvement [23], but visceral involvement in PNH is a distinct departure from the norm. Unlike PNH, GEH and BCH frequently undergo spontaneous resolution [24][25][26][27][28]. The distinctive oncocytic cells that characterize SRH and multicentric reticulohistiocytosis are not seen in PNH [29,30].…”

Progressive nodular histiocytosis (PNH) is a rare condition characterized by progressive eruption of multiple yellowish-brown papules and nodules on the skin and mucous membranes. We present the case of a 37-year-old Caucasian man with gradually increased appearance of nodular lesions on the forehead and right temple. These lesions were initially diagnosed as xanthomas and did not respond to intralesional injections of triamcinolone. Additional biopsy revealed an intense dermal infiltrate of foamy mononuclear epithelioid cells with a minor admixture of plasma cells, lymphocytes, and scattered multinucleated giant cells. On immunohistochemical staining, the lesional cells were positive for CD163 and CD68 and negative for CD1a, thus confirming a mononuclear-macrophage lineage. The clinical presentation and the histological impression lead to the diagnosis of PNH. This condition could be challenging, mimicking microscopically similar lesions of the non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis group. Although uncommon, PNH stands out due to its clinical and microscopic features and should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous histiocytoses.

Generalised eruptive histiocytosis preceded by systemic symptoms

Generalised eruptive histiocytosis is a rare proliferative disease that typically presents with indolent cutaneous eruptions. We describe the case of a 73-year-old man presenting with diffuse, asymptomatic crops of pink to dusky red papules preceded by general malaise, myalgias, fluctuating fever, chills, and weight loss. Histological evaluation revealed a non-Langerhans cell histiocytic dermal infiltrate with spindle cell features and chronic inflammation, reactive for CD68 and negative for both S100 and CD1a. Malignancy screening was negative. This report aims to highlight a unique presentation of generalised eruptive histiocytosis, emphasise histological findings, and discuss considerations for malignancy screening.
