Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis.

M O Coupe, S J Whittaker, N Thatcher

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |February 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis associated with pleural mesothelioma responded well to cyclophosphamide treatment. This chemotherapy led to remission of skin and joint symptoms, lasting for three years.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Oncology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is a rare multisystemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
    • Association between MRH and malignancy, particularly pleural mesothelioma, is exceptionally rare.
    • Optimal treatment strategies for MRH remain poorly defined.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis and concurrent pleural mesothelioma.
    • Cutaneous and joint manifestations of MRH were observed.
    • Corticosteroid therapy showed unpredictable efficacy in managing MRH symptoms.

    Findings:

    • Cyclophosphamide treatment resulted in complete resolution of both cutaneous and joint manifestations of MRH.
    • The patient achieved a sustained remission of MRH symptoms for three years post-treatment.
    • Cyclophosphamide demonstrated superior efficacy compared to corticosteroids for this MRH case.

    Implications:

    • Cyclophosphamide emerges as a potential first-line treatment for multicentric reticulohistiocytosis, especially when associated with malignancies.
    • Further clinical studies are warranted to validate cyclophosphamide's role in MRH management.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering underlying malignancies in patients with MRH.
