J Am Acad Dermatol. 1991 Nov;25(5 Pt 2):948-51. doi: 10.1016/0190-9622(91)70291-9.

Abstract

Multiple cutaneous reticulohistiocytomas (reticulohistiocytic granulomas) represent a unique pattern in the spectrum of the reticulohistiocytoses. Seven cases have been reported in the English-language literature. A case of multiple cutaneous reticulohistiocytomas observed for 5 years is presented. The spectrum of the reticulohistiocytoses is reviewed, and the distinct clinical patterns of the disease are compared.
