“…Unfortunately, in our case, we only did a follow-up after 3 months; therefore, it was impossible to see regression of the lesions. Although systemic disease has not been associated with BCH, two articles have reported that BCH was associated with diabetes insipidus or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus10,11. We did not find any association with other diseases in our case.…”

Benign Cephalic Histiocytosis: A Case Report

Histiocytic skin disorders are usually classified as either Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) or non LCH, based on the pathology. Benign cephalic histiocytosis (BCH) is a rare type of non-Langerhans histiocytitic disorder and is characterized by self-healing multiple small eruptions of yellow to red-brown papules on the face and upper trunk. Histologic features of this disorder show dermal proliferation of histiocytes that have intracytoplasmic comma-shaped bodies, coated vesicles and desmosome-like structures. In this study, we report on a 7-month-old boy who contained small yellow-red papules on his face that spread to his upper trunk. The clinical and histologic features in this patient were consistent with BCH.

“…Although it is generally accepted that BCH has no systemic or mucosal involvement, there have been two reports of systemic involvement, including coexistence with diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus . These associations could not be clearly explained and were considered to be coincidences.…”

“…In general, BCH does not lead to abnormalities in laboratory test results, or have known complications. However, diabetes inspidus and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus have been reported in association with BCH from infiltration of the pituitary stalk, which has been described more commonly in Langerhans cell histiocytosis and xanthoma disseminatum9,10.…”

A Case of Benign Cephalic Histiocytosis

et al. 2011

Benign cephalic histiocytosis (BCH) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis of unknown etiology. Clinically, lesions are characterized by small, red-to-yellow papules distributed mainly on the head, face, neck, and shoulders of infants and children. Histopathological specimens show massive histiocytic infiltration of the superficial dermis. Immunohistochemically, they are positive for CD68, but negative for CD1a and S-100. Two cases have been reported so far in the relevant work published in Korean literature. Herein, we report on an additional case of BCH.
