Generalised eruptive histiocytosis: Case report

Abstract

Generalised eruptive histiocytosis is a self-limited and benign non-Langerhans cell histiocytic disorder, characterised by recurrent crops of symmetrically distributed skin to red to brown coloured papules on the trunk and proximal extremities. Clinical and pathological correlation is required to establish the diagnosis. We herein present the clinical and histological features of generalised eruptive histiocytosis in a 24-year-old female patient.
