Abstract

Reticulohistiocytosis represents a rare spectrum of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis: the solitary cutaneous form (reticulohistiocytoma), the diffuse cutaneous form without systemic involvement, and multicentric reticulohistiocytosis with systemic involvement. We report a case of solitary cutaneous reticulohistiocytosis in a 46-years-old male, who presented with an asymptomatic firm, dome-shaped nodule on the right vestibule of nose. The lesion was completely excised and no evidence of recurrence was observed.
