Abstract
Abstract: Histiocytoses constitute a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by involvement of variable organs by neoplastic macrophage or dendritic cells. They may affect both adults and children with a predilection to the skin, bone, lungs, lymph nodes, and CNS. The coexistence of different types of histiocytoses in the same patient is an extremely rare phenomenon. We describe a very rare case of co-occurring pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis with multiple cutaneous reticulohistiocytomas with a common BRAF-V600E mutation as the driver genetic event in both the lung and skin lesions. The presence of a common BRAF-V600E mutation provides evidence of their clonal relation and contributes to our understanding in the pathogenesis of multiple, co-occurring histiocytic proliferations.
