Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) is a rare, multisystem histiocytic disorder characterized by its variable clinical presentations. Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement is observed in approximately half of ECD patients (up to 76% in some series), and often carries a poorer prognosis. While CNS involvement may remain asymptomatic, others may experience a range of neurological symptoms, including cognitive decline, neuropsychiatric disturbances, motor deficits, cranial or peripheral neuropathies, and endocrine abnormalities.

Orbital Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an extremely rare disorder, and widely different manifestations often make it diagnostically challenging. The variability of symptoms - from common presentations, such as eyelid swelling and exophthalmos, to very atypical symptoms, like headaches and diplopia - frequently results in delayed diagnosis and mismanagement. This systematic review aims to describe in detail the clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, treatment modalities, and outcomes of orbital LCH.

Article Synopsis
  • A xanthoma is a rare condition characterized by lipid-rich foam cells and can occur in soft tissues and bones, often linked to hyperlipidemia.
  • Primary bone xanthomas are uncommon benign lesions that aren’t associated with lipid issues, and the text discusses a unique case of a maxillary xanthoma in a healthy 23-year-old woman.
  • The diagnosis involves distinguishing different types of histiocytes through specific immunohistochemical staining techniques.

Canine cutaneous histiocytoma (CCH) represents a significant proportion of dog skin tumours, often manifesting as the most common neoplastic skin condition in young animals. Predominantly affecting dogs under four, these tumours appear primarily as solitary lesions that may regress spontaneously. This study, conducted over five years at the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, involved a detailed histopathological and ultrastructural examination of 93 CCH cases.
