Abstract:
The reticulohistiocytoses make up a heterogeneous group of diseases whose origin lies in an accumulation of cells of histiocytic lineage in different tissues and primarily in the skin. Three main clinical forms have been described (multicentric, solitary, diffuse cutaneous), which present with identical histological, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical characteristics. We present a case of diffuse cutaneous reticulohistiocytosis, which is the least common clinical pattern in the spectrum of this disease.
