Abstract
Introduction
Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Erdheim-Chester disease are rare inflammatory myeloid neoplasms. They present characteristic clinical, histological and radiological signs. Their association is exceptional. We report a new observation.
Observation
A 47-year-old man presented with lesions of seborrheic dermatitis-like, intracranial hypertension, paralysis of the sixth cranial nerve, and central diabetes insipidus. The skin biopsy concluded that there was Langerhans cell histiocytosis. The bone scan showed metaphyseal-diaphyseal osteosclerotic lesions of the femur, tibia and humerus. The thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT scan showed an aortic sheathing, suggesting Erdheim-Chester disease. The search for the BRAFV600E mutation was negative. The patient was treated with oral corticosteroid therapy then with cladribine which allowed a good evolution.
Conclusion
We report an observation of a mixed form of histiocytosis associating Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Erdheim-Chester disease, with a diagnostic delay of ten years, and having responded well to treatment with cladribine.
期刊介绍:
Official journal of the SNFMI, La revue de medecine interne is indexed in the most prestigious databases. It is the most efficient French language journal available for internal medicine specialists who want to expand their knowledge and skills beyond their own discipline. It is also the main French language international medium for French research works. The journal publishes each month editorials, original articles, review articles, short communications, etc. These articles address the fundamental and innumerable facets of internal medicine, spanning all medical specialties. Manuscripts may be submitted in French or in English.
