A solitary variant of congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis: solitary Hashimoto-Pritzker disease

Pediatr Dermatol. 1986 Jun;3(3):230-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.1986.tb00519.x.

Abstract

Four neonates had solitary, congenital, rapidly growing, spontaneously ulcerating tumors of the face, trunk, and extremities. No extracutaneous involvement was found, and all lesions spontaneously involuted. Mononuclear cells of the cutaneous infiltrate were Langerhans' cells. These findings expand the spectrum of congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis.
