Area of Science:

  • Histopathology
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Erdheim-Chester disease (EC) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
  • It can affect multiple organs, including bone, presenting diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old male presented with bilateral knee pain.
  • Radiographs showed diffuse bone density increase, coarsened trabeculae, and cortical thickening.
  • MRI revealed characteristic signal intensities in the affected bone lesions.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed a xanthogranulomatous lesion.
  • Foamy histiocytes and Touton-type giant cells were identified.
  • Immunohistochemistry was positive for S-100 and lysozyme.

Implications:

  • This is the first reported case of Erdheim-Chester disease in Korea.
  • Highlights the importance of considering rare histiocytic disorders in bone pathology.
  • Emphasizes the role of advanced imaging and immunohistochemistry in diagnosis.
