A 41-year-old man presented with painful nodules and joint issues. Histopathology confirmed multicentric reticulohistiocytosis, a rare condition.

Area of Science:

Rheumatology
Dermatology
Pathology

Background:

Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis is a rare, chronic, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
It typically presents with characteristic skin and joint manifestations.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a case of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis presenting with multiple nodules and arthropathies.
To highlight the importance of histopathological confirmation for diagnosis.

Main Methods:

Clinical presentation of a 41-year-old male patient with painful nodules and arthropathies.
Histopathological examination of nodule biopsies.

Main Results:

The patient exhibited multiple, painful, tender nodules on palms, soles, scalp, limbs (predominantly around joints), and ear helices.

Associated arthropathies were noted.

Histopathological study confirmed multicentric reticulohistiocytosis.

Conclusions:

Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis can present with a distinct pattern of cutaneous and articular involvement.
Histopathological analysis is crucial for definitive diagnosis of this rare disorder.
