Abstract
-
We report a case of congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis in a newborn male, who showed numerous reddish brown papulonodules on the whole of his body and an extremely large tumor mass on the left sole. No extracutaneous involvement was found. All lesions involuted spontaneously within two months. Histopathologically, multiple histiocytes with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, multinucleated cells, and eosinophils were observed in the dermis. Immunohistochemical staining with S-100 protein showed positive.
