Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis with prominent skin lesions and arthritis:A case report

         

摘要

BACKGROUND Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis(MRH)is a rare non-Langerhans histiocytosis of unknown etiology characterized by papulonodular skin lesions and progressive,erosive arthritis.To date,there have been approximately 300 cases of MRH reported worldwide.The majority of patients are Caucasian from western countries,and Asian patients are rare.Here,we report a case of MRH in a Chinese patient.CASE SUMMARY A 38-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with a rash that had persisted for over 2 years and bilateral knee pain for over 1 year.The patient’s symptoms had previously been misdiagnosed as eczema when there were only skin symptoms and was finally diagnosed as MRH after a skin biopsy of the left upper back.The patient was treated with glucocorticoids combined with an immunosuppressive regimen.While the skin lesions on both arms,abdomen,and back subsided,the skin lesions on the rest of the body did not increase.The interphalangeal joints of both thumbs and bilateral knee joints remained swollen and painful.CONCLUSION The case will help clinicians better identify and treat this disease in the absence of epidemiological studies or randomized controlled data.
