“…It has been suggested that BCH represents an abortive form of JXG rather than a separate entity16,18. The occurrence of BCH as a localized form of GEH in children was rarely reported13,19. The relationship of BCH with JXG and GEH is still not clear.…”

Benign Cephalic Histiocytosis: A Case Report

et al. 2011

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.

The histiocytic disorders are uncommon, have a wide spectrum, and are poorly understood. We describe seven cases developing in infancy, seen during a period of 9 years at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Clinically the patients had multiple papules over the face, trunk, and extremities that developed at birth or during infancy. Histopathologic examinations revealed an infiltrate of many histiocytic cells in the upper dermis with or without epidermotropism. Four cases were classified as congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis in that the histiocytes were identified as Langerhans cells by positive immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein, ultrastructural studies showing many Birbeck granules, and spontaneous regression of the lesions within 1-4 months. One infant with a solitary lesion on the forehead was diagnosed as solitary, congenital, indeterminate cell histiocytoma because the histiocytic cells were S-100 protein positive, but meticulous ultrastructural studies did not detect Birbeck granules. The lesion was removed by shave excision. Two cases were classified as generalized eruptive histiocytoma. The histiocytic cells were S-100 protein negative and ultrastructurally Birbeck granules were absent. In one patient, eyeball- or popcornlike lysosomal structures were seen. The lesions regressed completely.

“…Widespread and giant molluscum contagiosum are important markers of advanced immunode¢ciency (2,3). Similar to human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, non-speci¢c ablative therapy modalities have been used for molluscum contagiosum so far with marginal or no success in severely immunode¢cient AIDS patients (1), especially in terms of recurrences.…”

“…Sir, Treatment of molluscum contagiosum in immunode¢cient patients remains a major challenge (1,2). Spontaneous resolution seen in immunocompetent patients does not occur in immunocompromised individuals.…”
