Aim: To present current and new knowledge on congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis, a benign variant of cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis presenting with skin lesions in the neonatal period.
Methods: We describe and photo document two cases of this rare disease and review the literature.
Results: Only few newborns have acute access to a neonatal dermatologist, and we demonstrate how the spontaneous cutaneous involution may happen even prior to the first dermatological assessment. As no sole criterion can reliably distinguish the self-healing form from disseminated disease, multidisciplinary assessment and follow-up are essential.
Conclusion: Our data document how easily the diagnosis congenital self-healing reticulocytosis may be missed and emphasize the importance and value of instant clinical photographing at the neonatal unit and the use of teledermatology whenever congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis is suspected.

Bone defects can arise from trauma or pathological factors, resulting in compromised bone integrity and the loss or absence of bone tissue. As we are all aware, repairing bone defects is a core problem in bone tissue engineering. While minor bone defects can self-repair if the periosteum remains intact and normal osteogenesis occurs, significant defects or conditions such as congenital osteogenesis imperfecta present substantial challenges to self-healing.

Article Synopsis
- Bone defects from trauma, tumors, infections, and congenital conditions are major orthopedic challenges, complicated by factors like aging and preexisting conditions that can hinder the body's ability to repair itself.
- Traditional bone repair methods, such as autografts and allografts, are effective but come with limitations, including the need for additional surgeries and potential complications.
- Chitosan (CS), a biocompatible and biodegradable material, shows great promise for bone repair due to its ability to promote bone regeneration, density, and fracture healing, suggesting innovative approaches for future research in this field.

Onychomycosis in infants is a rare fungal infection. The condition is frequently linked to congenital or secondary immunodeficiency, as well as exposure to contaminated environments. In this report, we present a case of infant onychomycosis, likely infected during birth delivery from the mother with vaginal candidiasis.
