Fifteen patients with clinical and histological features of Crosti's reticulosis are reviewed. Twelve patients had lesions on the upper back and these were the only ones in eight of them. The other ones had extradorsal lesions.

Histological findings revealed a non-epidermotropic mixed cellular infiltration of histiocytes und T-lymphocytes with high and spontaneous cell destruction. We also observed high radiosensitivity.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA case of true cutaneous histiocytosarcoma --or Crosti's reticulosis--is reported, and provides the basis for a discussion of the techniques at present used in defining the histiocytic origin of lymphomas, criteria for assessing the malignancy of histiocytic infiltrates, and clinical data and course of histiocytic sarcomas. Particular emphasis is laid on the characteristics of Crosti's reticulosis, which the authors consider to be a form of histiocytic sarcoma, usually with a favorable outcome. They also attempt to isolate pathological criteria for assessing the prognosis of the disease, which appears to vary substantially from case to case.

Clinically and histologically both resembled Crosti's reticulosis ('réticulo-histiocytome du dos de l'adulte'). It was determined by electron microscopic, enzyme cytochemical and immunological studies that the 'histiocyte' component, which was derived from T lymphocytes, consisted of blast-like cells with characteristic multilobated nuclei with nucleoli in marginal position.

Clinically, the lesions were characterized by few, small, translucent and confluent papules, sometimes purpuric. The scalp lesions were seborrheic eczema-like; the elements on the groins were erosive.
