Solitary Congenital Self-Healing Histiocytosis (Hashimoto-Pritzker Disease) Histiocitosis congénita autolimitada (Hashimoto-Pritzker) de presentación solitaria

Congenital self-healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis (CSHLCH), or Hashimoto-Pritzker disease, is a rare variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis that was first described in 1973 by Hashimoto and Pritzker.1-5 It presents at birth or in the neonatal period.1-9 Few case series have been published in the literature.1,4,5 However, it is believed that the actual incidence is higher and that many cas...

Congenital self healing reticulohistiocytosis in a newborn (Hashimoto Pritzker).

Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis is the benign spectrum of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, characterized by cutaneous lesions at birth or in the neonatal period, absence of systemic manifestations and spontaneous resolution of clinical status. Despite the benign and often self-resolving course in most patients, studies show that in some cases there may be metastasis or recurrence of...

Variant of Congenital Self-healing liceloMstiocytosis: Solitary HasMmoto-Pritzker Disease

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. The Langerhans' cells (LC), dendri...

Self-healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis (Hashimoto-Pritzker disease): two Tunisian cases.

Self-healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis (SHLCH) is a rare self-limited variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis that presents at birth or during the neonatal period. It was first described by Hashimoto and Pritzker in 1973. Subsequently, more than 70 cases have been reported in the literature. Regarding age of onset, SHLCH should be divided into congenital SHLCH and rare late-onset type. We ...
