Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare condition causing bone sclerosis and infiltration. This study highlights ECD

Area of Science:

  • Histiocytic Disorders
  • Rare Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare, non-Langerhans cell histiocytic disorder.
  • Characterized by systemic infiltration, often affecting retroperitoneal and renal areas.
  • Long bone sclerosis is a hallmark radiographic feature.

Observation:

  • Two confirmed cases of ECD presented with non-malignant retroperitoneal and peri-renal infiltration.
  • This infiltration led to dilatation of the upper urinary tracts.
  • Radiographic findings included typical long bone sclerosis, confirmed by CT and MRI.

Findings:

  • Imaging studies demonstrated characteristic retroperitoneal and peri-renal involvement in ECD.
  • The observed infiltration caused significant upper urinary tract dilatation.

  • Long bone sclerosis was a consistent finding across both cases.

    • Implications:

    • ECD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of non-malignant retroperitoneal infiltration.
    • Radiographic evaluation of long bones is crucial for diagnosing ECD.
    • Conservative management was employed in both presented cases.
